Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture. Mix until just combined.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cornstarch. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  4. Divide Dough: Divide the dough into three equal portions, roughly 390 g each, for flavor variations.
  5. Flavor Preparation: Create variations by folding in specific chocolates and additional ingredients for each flavor.
  6. Shape Cookies: Divide the flavored dough into 4 equal pieces each, rolling them into balls and pressing the tops for cracks.
  7. Chill Dough: Place the dough balls on a baking sheet and freeze for 15-20 minutes.
  8. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and bake cookies for about 14 minutes.
  9. Finish Cookies: Use a round cutter to shape edges and press extra chocolate chunks on top after baking.
