The texture to these cookies are quite fabulous. Get baking!

Soft Batch Style Chocolate Chip Cookies

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. Store your cooled, leftover cookies into an air tight container. Try chilling in the refrigerator. They’re amazing cold too. Enjoy!

    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!!

  2. Connie @ Real Food Family Meals

    Those look fabulous! I am surprised that simply adding a bit of cornstarch makes them so soft. I will definitely try these.

  3. Aimee @ Simple Bites

    Love soft cookies and these look perfect, Jenny! I’m going to have to make a batch asap.

    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!

  5. Katherine R. @ Tar Heel Taste Bud

    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!

  6. Caroline @ the wanna be country girl

    Those look wonderful! Soft and chewy just like a good cookie should be.
    Thanks for sharing,

    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’!

  8. Leanne @ Healthful Pursuit

    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!

  9. christina @ ovenadventures

    i have been dying to try this cornstarch “trick”. after seeing these I realize I need to get on it NOW. these look amazing.

  10. Cookin Canuck

    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!

  11. Marian (Sweetopia)

    Jenny, we have to make these! (We, meaning the students and I). We’re already drooling over here!

  12. Stephanie @ Macaroni and Cheesecake

    I saw that idea on Pinterest too, so glad to know it works! Soft batch cookies are the best!:)

  13. Alyssa

    These look so perfectly delicious, but now I really want a cookie….and it’s only 10:30 AM!! haha

  14. Annie @ Annie's City Kitchen

    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.

  15. Sommer@ASpicyPerspective

    Sigh… SIGH….. What I would give for a dozen of these and a tall frosty glass of milk!

  16. naomi

    yep, cookies forever! and I can vouch for the cornstarch-soft cookies for sure. love this, jenny!

  17. Tabitha (From Single to Married)

    I’m a firm believer that you can never have too many chocolate chip cookie recipes and this one looks amazing!

  18. Cookbook Queen

    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!!

  19. kelley {mountainmamacooks}

    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 🙂

  20. Ellen @ The Baking Bluenoser

    Mmmm soft chocolate chips cookies are my absolute favorite! Nothing beats them, thanks for sharing this recipe!

  21. Averie @ Averie Cooks

    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!
