1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar, packed

1 cup white sugar

2 large eggs, room temperature

2 large egg yolks, room temperature

2 Tbsp. whole milk

1 1/2 Tbsp. pure vanilla extract

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Spray a standard half sheet pan (13×18 inches) with nonstick spray and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and both sugars. Whisk until smooth, breaking up any brown sugar clumps.
Add the eggs, egg yolks, whole milk, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Whisk until the mixture is smooth.
Add the dry ingredients—flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and kosher salt. Fold them into the wet mixture until mostly combined.
Stir in the chocolate chips, folding until they are evenly distributed.
Spread the dough evenly on the prepared sheet pan. Smooth it out with a spatula. (Trust the process, it will spread out during baking.)
Bake for about 22 minutes. The cookies should look slightly underbaked when you remove them from the oven, as they’ll continue to cook on the sheet pan.
Allow the cookies to cool completely on the pan. Once cooled, cut into squares and enjoy!

Notes

For extra crunch, add 1 cup of chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to the dough.
Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top before baking for a sweet-and-salty flavor.
Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before baking if you want to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
If you don’t have cornstarch, you can omit it. It helps make the cookies chewier but is not essential.
