How to Make Shirley Corriher's Chocolate Chip Cookies Medium Version

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, 1/2 cup (1 stick) shortening, and 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar and 3/4 cup (150g) packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Stir in 2 tablespoons light corn syrup.
  5. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Stir in 2 cups (400g) chocolate chips.
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. Exact baking time will depend on your oven.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
