# Ingredients:

01 - 2 sticks salted butter (can use dairy-free alternative)
02 - 1 1/4 cups light brown sugar
03 - 3/4 cup white sugar
04 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
05 - 2 large eggs (or 1/2 cup applesauce for vegan)
06 - 3 cups all-purpose flour
07 - 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
08 - 1 teaspoon baking soda
09 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
10 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
11 - 2 cups white chocolate chips

# Steps:

01 - Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
02 - Line a baking sheet with a non-stick baking mat or parchment paper and set aside.
03 - In a stand mixer, cream the butter, light brown sugar, and white sugar together until creamy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, beating for approximately 20 seconds until combined.
04 - In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
05 - Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until fully incorporated. Avoid overmixing.
06 - Fold in the white chocolate chips using a rubber spatula.
07 - Use a small cookie scoop to portion out dough. Place 8-10 cookies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them. Add extra chocolate chips to the tops if desired.
08 - Bake for 9-10 minutes for a soft and chewy texture. For a crispier texture, bake for 11 minutes or more.
09 - Place a towel on the counter. Carefully drop the baking sheet onto the towel to encourage optimal cookie texture. Let cookies sit on the baking sheet for 2 minutes.
10 - Transfer cookies to a cooling rack and let cool completely.
11 - Enjoy the cookies once cooled.

# Notes and Tips:

01 - Use an oven thermometer to ensure accurate baking temperature.
02 - Add extra chocolate chips to the tops of cookies before baking for a more visually appealing result.
03 - For dairy-free cookies, substitute regular butter with a dairy-free option.
04 - Applesauce can be used in place of eggs for a vegan option.
05 - Carefully dropping the baking sheet on a towel improves texture but should be done cautiously to avoid damage to the counter.
