📋 Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar

👩🍳 Instructions
- Prep Oven – Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream Butter & Sugars – In a large bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
- Add Wet Ingredients – Mix in egg and vanilla until fully combined.
- Mix Dry Ingredients – In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine – Slowly add dry ingredients into wet, mixing until just combined (don’t overmix).
- Fold In – Stir in chocolate chips and walnut pieces.
- Scoop & Shape – Drop dough balls (about 2 tbsp each) onto baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.
- Bake – Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until edges are golden but centers still look soft.
- Cool – Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
✨ Tips for Extra Gooey Cookies
- Chill dough for 30 minutes before baking for thicker cookies.
- Press a few extra chocolate chips on top before baking for a bakery-style look.
- Slightly underbake (by 1 minute) if you love gooey centers.
