Soft cookies with chocolate

Ingredients:

• 3 3/4 cups premium wheat flour
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon fine salt
• 3/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
• 240 g cold butter, cut into cubes
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 1.5 cups chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate

Preparation:

1. Sift flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder and soda into a large bowl and mix.
2. Stir with mixer Beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together at medium speed until small lumps form. Do not overmix. Reduce the speed to low and, while continuing to mix, gradually add the eggs, then the flour. Turn off the mixer, add the chocolate to the dough, and fold in with a spatula. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.
3. Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Spoon the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing it 2 inches (5 cm) apart. Place the cookies in the oven and bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Turn off the oven and leave the cookies in for 5 minutes to firm up slightly. Remove the cookies from the oven and cool completely.
