Preheat oven to 375°
Combine and mix flour, salt, cornstarch, and baking soda in a bowl.
Start by measuring your baking tray, then cut two pieces of parchment paper slightly larger than a 9″ x 12″ tray—leave a bit of overhang on each side so you can easily lift the bars out after baking. Place one sheet lengthwise in the tray and the other crosswise on top to form a crisscross. Press the parchment into the corners and along the edges, creasing it so it fits snugly. The extra paper makes removing the bars in one piece simple for easy cutting and serving.
Place the eggs and the extra egg yolks in a small bowl and whisk with a fork thoroughly.
Whip butter for a minute or two with a mixer.
Add vanilla to the butter and mix well.
Add brown sugar and granulated sugar to the butter and mix for another minute or two until combined well.
Next, add the egg mixture to the butter and blend well.
Add portions of the flour to the sugar/butter mixture and beat well after each addition.
Once all the flour is added, beat for a minute.
Add the ½ cup of chocolate chips and mix well.
Take the dough and press it evenly to cover the baking tray.
Add chocolate chunks and spread them over the chocolate chip cookie dough.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes until golden brown.
Let the baked cookie bars cool completely on the tray. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars in one piece. Place on a cutting board and slice into squares with a sharp knife.
