Instructions

Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave until smooth, then cool to 85°F.
Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl until thoroughly combined.
Cream the softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Add the egg, corn syrup, and vanilla extract, beating until the mixture is fully emulsified.
Slowly stir the cooled melted chocolate into the butter mixture on low speed.
Incorporate the dry ingredients in two batches, then chill the dough for 30 minutes to firm up.
Roll dough into 1-inch balls, coat in sugar, and bake at 350°F on ungreased sheets for 10 to 15 minutes.

Notes

To ensure the most distinct snap, allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack so the sugars can fully crystallize. If the dough feels too sticky to roll even after chilling, dampen your hands slightly with cool water to make portioning easier without adding excess flour.
