Thick and Soft Baked Chocolate Chip Cookies

Instructions
-
Cream Ingredients
Mix the cold butter, brown sugar, white sugar, and eggs. Cream them together until well combined. -
Combine Dry and Wet
Add the vanilla, baking soda, salt, cornstarch, and glucose or light corn syrup. Mix in the all-purpose flour only until blended, being careful not to overmix. -
Prepare Dough
Measure out at least 1/4 cup of cookie batter for each cookie. You may form the dough into balls and freeze them for later use, thawing before baking. -
Test Bake
Bake one cookie first to check the spread. If it spreads too much, chill the remaining dough for 30 minutes. Use double baking pans to prevent burnt bottoms. -
Bake Cookies
Bake at 400°F for 13 to 18 minutes, depending on your oven and cookie size. -
Cool Completely
Leave the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 to 10 minutes after removing from the oven. Then transfer them to cooling racks to finish setting.
Tips
Do not overmix the flour into the batter, or the cookies will turn out hard and tough. Ensure you use enough dough per cookie to achieve the thick, soft texture.
