Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).

Prepare a baking sheet with a Silpat liner.

Cut 1/2 cup of butter into tablespoon-sized pieces and place in a microwave-safe bowl.

Microwave the butter for about 45 seconds until kind of melted but still not completely melted.

Place the melted butter into the bowl of a stand mixer along with 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and 1/2 cup of light brown sugar; cream these together in the mixer.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla and 1 egg to the mixture and beat until combined.

Add the dry ingredients: 1.5 cups of flour, 2 teaspoons of cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt; mix until it comes together and is not sticky, adding more flour if necessary.

Add 1.5 cups of chocolate chunks and mix until evenly distributed.

Use a 1/2 cup measuring cup to divide out the dough into 5 large balls without shaping them.

Roll the dough into balls that are skinnier and taller than usual and space them evenly on the baking sheet.

Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes until browned.

Remove from the oven and let sit on the baking sheet for about 15 minutes before enjoying.
