Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups (280 grams) all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup (170 grams) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 3/4 cup (150 grams) packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 egg yolk, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks
- 1/2 cup candy cane pieces
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, corn starch, and salt. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together
until they are well combined and there aren’t any lumps. Add the egg and egg yolk and
whisk again until they are incorporated. Now whisk in the vanilla extract. - Pour the butter mixture into the dry ingredients and mix together with a wooden spoon.
- Fold in the chocolate chunks and candy cane pieces.
- Cover the dough and chill it in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours, or up to 3 days. I like to let
mine chill overnight. - Take the dough out of the refrigerator and let it soften at room temperature. This can take 10 minutes or up to 20-30 minutes depending on how long it chilled and how cold your house is.
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone
baking mats. Set aside. - Measure about 2 heaping tablespoons for each cookie and roll it into an oblong ball. You
want the shape to be tall for thicker cookies. (See photos) Place 9 cookies per sheet, about
2 inches apart. - Bake the cookies for 12-13 minutes, until the edges are very lightly brown. They may look
slightly undercooked, but they will firm up as they cool. Allow them to cool on the baking
sheet for 10 minutes, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
