Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cake flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup dark brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Chocolate Chips:
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup milk chocolate chips
- 3 oz dark chocolate bar, chopped
Instructions
- Prep the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch. Set aside.
- Cream the Butter & Sugars: In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs & Vanilla: Mix in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Scrape down the bowl as needed.
- Combine Wet & Dry: Add the dry ingredients gradually, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Fold in the Chocolate Chips: Use a spatula to fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring even distribution.
- Chill the Dough: For best thickness, refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours for deeper flavor.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop large dough balls (about ⅓ cup each) and place them 3 inches apart on the sheet.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until edges are set but the centers look slightly underbaked.
Notes
- You can customize the types of chocolate chips used based on your preference.
- Ensure the butter is at room temperature for the best texture.
- Chilling the dough helps prevent excessive spreading while baking.
