This recipe was developed by Melissa Gray.

Ingredients

cubes (10 2/3 Tbsp.)

Use your fingertips to pinch and press butter cubes into sugar mixture.

Beat with an electric mixer on medium-low speed until combined and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes.

Whisk flour, cornstarch, baking powder, kosher salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl.

Add flour mixture to butter mixture; beat on low speed just until combined.

Fold in chocolate chips.

Cover dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours.

Preheat oven to 350F.

Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper (such as Reynolds Kitchens Unbleached Parchment Paper).

Shape dough into 10 balls (about 1/3 cup or 4 ounces each).

Place balls 3 inches apart on baking sheets.

Press a few milk chocolate and semisweet chocolate chips into tops of warm cookies, if desired.

Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if desired.

For just-baked cookies anytime, portion out the dough and freeze on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Once frozen, transfer the balls of cookie dough to a freezer bag.
