The Worst Ever Chocolate

1 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled 1 ½ cups light brown sugar packed ½ cup granulated sugar 2 large eggs room temperature preferred 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ¼ cup maple syrup 3 ¼ cups all purpose flour 2 teaspoons cornstarch 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 2 cups chocolate chips

In a large bowl, mix together melted butter (cool for at least 5 minutes) and sugars with an electric mixer. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until combined. Mix in vanilla extract and maple syrup. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add flour mixture to wet ingredients, stir until completely combined. Stir in chocolate chips. Cover bowl with clear wrap and allow to chill for at least 30 minutes. While the dough is chilling, preheat oven to 350°F. Scoop about 2-2 1/2 tablespoons of cookie dough and roll into balls, making them slightly taller than they are wide. Place them at least 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheet. Bake about 12-13 minutes (cookies will appear to be a bit underdone, but edges should be just beginning to turn golden brown.) Allow cookies to cool on cookie sheet. Keep unbaked cookie dough in fridge while waiting to put the next batch in the oven, and do not place cookie dough on a hot cookie sheet.
