My Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp cornstarch
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/8 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup chilled butter, diced into cubes
• 1 cup minus 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp molasses
• 2 1/2 Tbsp original or french vanilla coffee creamer powder
• 1 large egg
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste or substitute 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

1. Heat the oven to 375 degrees. In a mixing bowl, whisk the flour with the salt, cornstarch, baking powder, and baking soda, then put the bowl aside.
2. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the chilled butter with the sugar, molasses, and coffee creamer powder until the mixture is combined and lightly airy, about 4 minutes.
3. Add the egg and vanilla bean paste, and mix them in. Gradually work in the dry mixture, mixing until everything is fully combined; the dough will be quite thick.
4. Fold in the milk chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate chips.
5. Shape the dough into balls of about 2 1/2 tablespoon each, a little bigger than a golf ball, and place 8 on each buttered cookie sheet.
6. Bake for 10-11 minutes, just until the edges have the faintest golden color. Leave the cookies on the cookie sheet for several minutes, then move them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
7. Store the cookies in an airtight container. If you want a warm cookie later, microwave one for 10 seconds if desired.
