Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cup dark brown sugar
• 3 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 tbsp vanilla bean paste (or extract)
• 2 tsp honey
• 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 tsp baking powder
• 0.5 tsp baking soda
• 1.5 tsp cornstarch
• 0.75 tsp kosher salt
• 0 dry ingredients
• 0.75 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup milk chocolate, chopped
• 0 cookie dough
• 0 cookie dough
• 0 cookie dough balls
• 0 cookie dough balls

Instructions

1. In a bowl, whisk the softened butter with the sugars aggressively for about 3 minutes until light and creamed.
2. Add the egg, yolk, vanilla, and honey. Whisk aggressively for 3 more minutes until smooth.
3. Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt together in a new bowl.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and fold until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Fold in the chocolate.
6. Chill the dough for at least 2 hours in the fridge, or 45 minutes to 1 hour in the freezer.
7. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
8. Scoop the dough into 6 massive balls and place them several inches apart on a lined baking sheet.
9. If your dough isn’t fully cold, shape each ball into a tall peak so it melts down into a thick cookie instead of spreading flat.
10. Bake for 15 minutes until edges are crispy and the centers are gooey.
