Notes
Make sure your flour, powdered sugar and cornstarch is not over measured or the cookie texture will change and you'll have hard cookies. It's better to be a little under than over and then add in, instead of the other way around.
Make sure you butter is cooled completely, or the chocolate chips will melt into the dough. (You can place in fridge to speed it up)
