- Cornstarch– This is my secret ingredient to extra chewy cookies!

- Salt – when using unsalted butter, always add a bit of salt to your baked goods to add a depth of flavor.
- Vanilla – Pretty much the most magical ingredient… Makes everything taste amazing!
- Semi-sweet chocolate chips – I used regular-sized semi-sweet chocolate chips but if you have something else feel free to use that!
- Thick chocolate bar or dove chocolates- You can use either one of these to fill up your cookies.
