Ingredients
  
  • 1 3/4 cups (210g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (120g) cake flour
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (226g) cold butter, cubed
  • 1 cup (213g) brown sugar You can use light brown sugar or dark brown sugar. In this recipe, I used dark. Dark brown sugar will give the cookie a little extra flavor.
  • 1/2 cup (99g) sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup (170g) dark chocolate chips
Instructions
 
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat and set aside. (You can skip this step if you don't have either. It just makes it easier to remove the cookies after they are baked.)
  • In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together both flours, cornstarch, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
  • Add cold, cubed butter to the bowl of a stand mixer or to a large bowl using a hand mixer. Beat on medium speed until butter is light and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed.
  • Add sugar and brown sugar to butter and mix on medium speed until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl if needed.
  • Add eggs to the bowl with the sugars and butter. Mix on medium speed until just combined.
  • All at once, add flour mixture and both chocolate chips to the bowl with the sugars, butter and eggs. Beat on low speed until just mixed together. Do not overmix.
  • Chill cookie dough covered in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
  • Preheat oven to 400° F.
  • Remove dough from refrigerator and separate into 8 equal size balls. You can fit 4 cookies on one cookie sheet. I bake the batches separately.
  • With the palm of your hand, flatten each cookie a little.
  • Bake cookies for 10-13 minutes until they are just browning on the edges. Do not overbake.
  • Remove cookies from the oven and let cool on cookie sheet for at least 15 minutes.
  • Transfer cookies to a wire cooling grid to finish cooling. (Cookies are best eaten when they are warm and gooey!)
