Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (248g) all-purpose flour
- 1 ¼ cups (140g) cake flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup (226g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- ⅔ (134g) packed light brown sugar
- ⅔ (134g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups (340g) chocolate chips
- 1 cup (107g) coarsely chopped walnuts, toasted
Instructions
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the all-purpose flour, cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, cream the cold butter on low speed until the cubes lose their shape, about 45 seconds to one minute. Add both sugars and cream for about 1 minute more.
- Add the eggs and vanilla, mixing until smooth. Then, mix in the dry ingredients until the dough is thick.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and walnuts until evenly combined.
- Shape large balls of dough, about 6 ounces (172g) each, and place them on the prepared cookie sheet. Chill for at least 90 minutes, or up to overnight, ensuring to cover if chilling longer than 90 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place an empty cookie sheet upside down on the middle rack.
- Remove the chilled dough balls, spreading them on a second cookie sheet (4 per large sheet).
- Bake one sheet at a time on top of the upside-down pan on the middle rack for approximately 20-26 minutes, checking around 15 minutes to rotate if necessary. The cookies are done when they lose their glossy sheen while remaining slightly doughy inside.
- Cool the cookies on the pan for at least 10 minutes before removing to enjoy.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze baked and cooled cookies for up to 3 months. Cookie dough can also be frozen. When baking from frozen, add 2-3 minutes to the baking time.
Notes
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for even mixing.
Chilling the dough is crucial for achieving that perfect cookie texture.
