Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease or line an 11-inch pie or tart dish and set aside.
Add butter and both sugars to a large mixing bowl and use a hand or stand mixer to beat together.
¾ cups unsalted butter, softened, ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 cup brown sugar
Add flour and mix until combined. Don’t worry, the consistency should not be smooth at this point.
2 cups all-purpose flour
Add vanilla, cornstarch, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (optional) and mix until combined. You will still have a flaky consistency.
2 teaspoons vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon cornstarch, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
Add your eggs and use a hand mixer on high until you form a smooth dough and fold in your chocolate chips with a spatula.
2 large eggs, 1 cup dark chocolate chips
Transfer your dough to your prepped baking dish and use your spatula to spread dough to the edges. Bake at 325 for 40-50 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Crack on some coarse salt and allow to cool completely before adding the ganache or serving as is.
1 pinch of coarse salt
