Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 3/4 cup Cake Flour
- 1 tsp Corn Starch
- 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Cold Unsalted Butter
- 1/2 cup Light Brown Sugar
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 Large Egg
- 1 Egg Yolk
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract (optional)
Add-ins
- 2 cups Milk Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature for baking the cookies to a perfect golden brown.
- Mix dry ingredients: Whisk together all-purpose flour, cake flour, corn starch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl until well combined to create the dry flour mixture.
- Cream butter and sugars: In a stand mixer, cream the cold unsalted butter with the light brown sugar and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which helps create a soft cookie texture.
- Add eggs and vanilla: Add the large egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract (if using) to the creamed mixture and mix until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients on low speed, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the dough.
- Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold in the milk chocolate chips using a rubber spatula to evenly distribute them throughout the dough.
- Scoop the dough: Using a large cookie scoop or spoon, portion out six large dollops of dough (approximately 5.7 oz each) onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Do not flatten the cookie dough balls to maintain their thickness.
- Bake the cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the tops are a golden brown color, ensuring the centers remain soft and chewy.
- Cool before serving: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for at least 15 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to finish cooling. This helps the cookies set and prevents breaking.
Notes
- Cold butter helps create a thicker cookie with a better texture.
- Using a combination of all-purpose and cake flour results in a tender yet sturdy cookie.
- Do not flatten cookie dough before baking to keep cookies thick and chewy.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet to set properly before moving.
- Vanilla extract is optional but enhances flavor.
