These Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies are reminiscent of bake shop cookies! Crispy on the outside, and chewy on the inside, full of milk chocolate chips! Perfect for dunking in a cup of tea or a tall glass of milk.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or non-stick baking mats
In the bowl of electric mixer cream the butter, brown sugar and white sugar on med-high until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes). Beat in the egg and the vanilla
In a separate bowl whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt
Add the dry ingredients to the butter/sugar mixture, mixing on low just until combined
Stir in the chocolate chips
Drop dough by heaping tablespoons full onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each for spread. Do not press down.
Bake, on sheet at a time, for 10-12 minutes just until edges are beginning to turn golden. Do not over-bake. Cookies will appear soft when first out of the oven.
Cool on baking sheet about 3 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack to cool completely
