This recipe yields delicious thick, tender and chewy chocolate chip cookies that will stay chewy for days.
This is my favourite chewy chocolate chip cookie recipe. It’s from Anna Olson and she adds a “secret” ingredient, cornstarch, to make the cookies chewy rather than crisp. The great thing about this recipe is that the cookies remain chewy for days after having baked them.
We’ll be leaving some of these cookies and a tall glass of milk for Santa!
