Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups (281g) All-Purpose Flour
- 1/4 cup (30g) Cake Flour
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup (226g) Cold Unsalted Butter, cut into cubes
- 1/2 cup (100g) Granulated Sugar
- 3/4 cup (150g) Packed Brown Sugar
- 2 Large Eggs, cold
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 1/2 cups High-Quality Chocolate Chunks
- 1 cup Walnuts, toasted (Optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cake flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the cold butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in the chocolate chunks and walnuts (if using).
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes (or overnight) for best results.
- Use a large cookie scoop (about 1/2 cup) to form the dough into balls. Place the dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is still slightly soft. Underbake slightly for that gooey center.
- Immediately after taking the cookies out of the oven, gently tap the baking sheet on the counter to flatten them slightly and create those signature wrinkles.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
