Ingredients
1 cup Butter (cold, cut into cubes)
1 cup Brown Sugar
½ cup Sugar
2 large Eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 1/2 Cups Cake Flour
1 1/2 Cups AP Flour
1 teaspoon Cornstarch
¾ teaspoon Baking Soda
¾ teaspoon Salt
2 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (or 1 cup dark and 1 cup semi-sweet)
Directions
Cream Butter, Brown Sugar, and Sugar (paddle attachment in mixer)
Continue to cream and add on egg at a time (add the next egg when the first is fully incorporated)
Once Egg's are fully mixed in, add Vanilla
Mix together Flours, Cornstarch, Baking Soda, and Salt in another bowl
Pour flour mixture into creamed mixture and fold together, you do NOT want to over mix this
While the dough is a little crumbly/white still add the Chocolate Chips to finish mixing
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions, and make into round dough balls (loosely packed)
Refrigerate dough for a few hours or overnight...or for days, whatever I'm not your mom
Baking
Preheat oven to 410°F and use convect if you have it
Using a heavy metal pan (we like these Vollrath sheets for cookies), and tend to use a silicone baking mat as well
Place dough balls on sheet (we usually do 2-4 at a time)
Cook for 10-13 minutes (start watching at 10 minutes)
The trick at this point is to watch for the cookies to start browning on the top, as soon as they start to brown, pull the cookies
Once the cookies are done, let them sit on the baking sheet for 10-15 minutes, this will help them set and continue to cook a little
Tips
If the cookies are burnt at the bottom move them up a rack or two in the oven
These go fantastic with vanilla ice cream
They are a meal on their own
You can add a cup of walnuts to the recipe if you like that kind of thing
