Cookies cookies cookies! I’m a cookie baking fool, no doubt about it. Now, I know it’s still January and we’re all trying to watch what we’re eating, but chocolate chip cookies do not get removed from my diet….ever. It’s just not allowed.
When I was browsing around Pinterest last week, I was intrigued when I cookies that had cornstarch added to cookie dough. I had to try it! I whipped up my own recipe with some added cornstarch and I have to say I love how soft and fabulous they turned out! So….I call them my soft batch style cookies 🙂
Try them for yourself and see how you like em!
Scoop your dough as usual onto your favorite cookie sheet.
Press your dough down slightly like so before baking.
Here’s what you get. Heaven.
The texture to these cookies are quite fabulous. Get baking!
This batch was baked for 10 minutes exactly. Slightly underdone which makes them soft and lovely. I did another batch at about 13 minutes which was browned and firmer. I enjoyed both batches, lol! Try one of each and see what you like.

I made almost this exact recipe a couple months ago! The cornstarch cookies have changed my life! I tweaked it by using a combo of bread flour and allpurpose, and chocolate chips and chunks, but the dough base in the same. Yours look so good!
Mmmm soft chocolate chips cookies are my absolute favorite! Nothing beats them, thanks for sharing this recipe!
Soft cookies forever! 🙂
Simple and fabulous. I just love those chocolate cookies. For ever ! 🙂
I so have to try these!
One can never have too many chocolate chip cookie recipes! Love the cornstarch addition- these do look so soft and chewy! I want some right now to finish with my coffee 🙂
I LOVE soft cookies!! These look like little pillows of goodness!
We LOVE chocolate chip cookies around here!!! I’m really curious about the cornstarch too…since yours look so amazing, I obviously need to try it!!
I’m a firm believer that you can never have too many chocolate chip cookie recipes and this one looks amazing!
Totally adore soft batch style!!! These will be a Must Make for me!
yep, cookies forever! and I can vouch for the cornstarch-soft cookies for sure. love this, jenny!
Sigh… SIGH….. What I would give for a dozen of these and a tall frosty glass of milk!
Man, sometimes a soft chewy cookie really hits the spot. I still think my favorite is more of a classic chocolate chip cookie but a soft one now and then certainly doesn’t hurt.
Yum yum yum.
These look so perfectly delicious, but now I really want a cookie….and it’s only 10:30 AM!! haha
I saw that idea on Pinterest too, so glad to know it works! Soft batch cookies are the best!:)
Soft Cookies are the best. These look just divine!
Jenny, we have to make these! (We, meaning the students and I). We’re already drooling over here!
These look heavenly! It’s not even noon yet and I want cookies 🙂
Would it be OK to munch a few of these GIANTS at one time……Mmmmmmm 🙂
If I’m going to be indulging in cookies, this is exactly the sort of thing I want to be munching on. The softer the better!
Those look divine and “lighter” than typical chocolate chip cookies. Yummers!
These cookies look scrumptious, Jenny!
mmmmm soft cookies are my favorite!! can’t wait to give these a try! Thanks lady!!
i have been dying to try this cornstarch “trick”. after seeing these I realize I need to get on it NOW. these look amazing.
Interesting… I’ve never seen a non gluten-free cookie recipe with corn starch… brilliant. In gluten-free baking, it gives things a nice ‘chew’ factor. I didn’t think gluten containing cookies would need them because of the natural glue from the gluten would do the trick. Will definitely have to share this little tid bit!
oh man, I said I was going to do better in the coming weeks about eating sweets – I’m 26 weeks pregnant so I know I’ll need to be checked for gestational diabetes soon, AND I just ate about 3 dozen chocolate chip cookies that I made last week all by myself. I think I’ll just bookmark this recipe for February 🙂
Keep ’em comin’!
Those look wonderful! Soft and chewy just like a good cookie should be.
Thanks for sharing,

Hmmm…I wonder how well that would work for a peanut butter cookie?
I’ve seen the cornstartch addition but haven’t tried it myself. However, I think we all know that I am going to need to after staring at these cookie pictures 🙂 Thanks for the recipe!
As I was in the middle of making cupcakes once, I realized I didn’t have enough eggs. I googled egg substitutes and corn starch came up. I subbed some of the eggs for the cornstarch, and they came out so moist and soft! Hadn’t thought to try it with cookies, really looking forward to trying these!
Love soft cookies and these look perfect, Jenny! I’m going to have to make a batch asap.
These look great! I love a soft and chewy cookie.
Those look fabulous! I am surprised that simply adding a bit of cornstarch makes them so soft. I will definitely try these.
These are on my baking list for this week end! Love!
I knew I had to bake these when I saw your new post. Baked them & they are really good! Tagged you to a picture of these awesome cookies on instagram & so happy you left a comment. Thank you for the recipe!!
I’m always looking to try a new chocolate chip recipe! This one is fabulous!
It is only 10:40 here and you just made me crave cookies! They look delicious. I love soft cookies over crunchy ones.
Oh gosh, is it ok to make cookies for breakfast? These look so good! I keep seeing corn starch in cookies lately, I think I’m finally going to have to try it!
I love soft batch cookies – I will need to try that cornstarch trick for sure!
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for this recipe! I just made it for my roommate and boyfriend, and my boyfriend just said,”I think my grandmother just rolled over in her grave, these are the best chocolate chip cookies I’ve ever had.” I hope this is the tipping point that leads to the ring?
Too cute! So glad you enjoyed!
The cookies are very tasty but mine did not turn out soft! Any idea about how that could have happened? I followed the recipe and measured exactly.

I also added a teaspoon of cream of tartar and increased the mixing times for the first and second mixings. My sister in law taught me both of those techniques and they really help to keep the dough soft. These were great cookies. Thanks for the recipe!
