- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. This is crucial for easy cleanup and preventing sticking.
- In a large bowl, cream together the room temperature unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. The mixture should look creamy.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and cornstarch. Make sure there are no lumps.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed. Be careful not to overmix! Overmixing can lead to tough cookies.
- Gently fold in the candies until they're evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- For larger cookies, use a 2-ounce scoop, for standard, use a tablespoon sized scoop.
- Place the dough balls onto your prepared baking sheet, leaving at least 2 inches between each cookie. You'll likely only fit 9 cookies per standard baking sheet. Gently press down each cookie ball.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still soft and slightly underbaked.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Repeat baking steps until all cookies are baked, Enjoy!
