Notes
*Butter should be cool enough that if you poke it, it dents a little. It shouldn't be so soft that it is mushy.
**If you don't have cake flour, mix 2 ¼ c. all-purpose flour and 1/4 c. cornstarch together. Then, sift them together three times before using.
***Feel free to gently press additional chocolate chips onto the cookies before baking.
