Full Recipe:

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour

• 3/4 cup cake flour

• 1 teaspoon cornstarch

• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 cup cold, unsalted butter, cubed

• 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

• 1/4 cup granulated white sugar

• 1 large egg

• 1 egg yolk

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

• 2 cups milk chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cake flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the cold, cubed butter with the brown and white sugars. Using the paddle attachment, cream the mixture on medium low speed until light and fluffy.

4. Add the whole egg and egg yolk (and vanilla extract, if using) to the butter sugar mixture. Mix until well combined.

5. Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just incorporated.

6. Fold in the milk chocolate chips using a rubber spatula or the mixer on low speed.

7. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions, each weighing approximately 5.7 ounces. Shape each portion into a tall mound without flattening.

8. Place the cookie mounds onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Ensure they are spaced apart to allow for slight spreading.

9. Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

10. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them rest on the baking sheet for at least 15 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
