Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes-20 minutes
Serves: makes 2 dozen cookies
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup plus 1 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 3 tbsp light corn syrup
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 tsp baking powder

Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line 2 large baking sheets with parchment.
- Mix together the butter and sugar with an electric mixer set on high speed for 2 minutes, until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, corn syrup, and vanilla. Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt to combine. On low speed, mix into the butter mixture. Stir in the chocolate chips, or reserve for sprinkling.
- Drop tablespoons of the dough on the baking sheets, spacing them 1in (2.5cm) apart. Sprinkle the chocolate chips on the cookies, if reserved. Bake about 15 minutes, until the edges start to brown. Cool on the baking sheets for 3 minutes, then transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool.
