Mix the dry ingredients: add 3 and 1/4 cups of all purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of corn starch, 1 and 1/4 teaspoons of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to a bowl and whisk them together.

In a large mixing bowl, add 1 cup of softened unsalted butter, 1 and 1/2 cups of packed brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Mix with a wooden spoon.

Cream together the butter and sugar until no lumps of butter remain in the mixture.

Add in 2 large room temperature eggs and mix until well incorporated.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix with a wooden spoon until almost combined.

Add in 2 cups of semi sweet chocolate chips and mix until well combined. Save a few extra chocolate chips for topping the cookies after baking.

Scoop out the dough and roll it into balls between your palms for a round shape. Place them on a baking sheet.

Chill the dough in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or until completely firm to prevent overspreading during baking.

Preheat the oven to 350F and bake the cookies for about 15 to 17 minutes or until the edges are light golden in color.
