Fall Chocolate Chip Spiced Cookie

• 12 Tablespoons unsalted butter 
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 large egg
• 2 Tablespoons molasses
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda 
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon salt 
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon 
• 1 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• Just a dash of ground cloves 
• 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips 

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and sugar for 4 minutes until light and fluffy.
• Add molasses and egg and mix for 1 minute longer.
• Fold in flour, baking soda, cornstarch, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and chocolate chips. 
• Roll into 4-ounce, 5-ounce, or 6-ounce balls. Place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. I prefer to use light-colored baking sheets.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes. The cookies will still be slightly underdone when you remove them from the oven. Let the cookies sit for 10-15 minutes before moving them from the baking sheet.
