Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups minus 2 tablespoons Cake flour
  • 1-2/3 cups Bread flour
  • 1-1/4 teaspoons Baking soda
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons Baking powder
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons Coarse salt
  • 2-1/2 sticks Unsalted butter, at room temperature (1-1/4 cups)
  • 1-1/4 cups Light brown sugar
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
  • 2 Large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
  • 1-1/4 pounds Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Sift flours, baking soda, baking powder and salt into a bowl and set aside.
  2. Using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy – about 5 minutes on medium speed.
  3. Add eggs. Stir in vanilla. Reduce to low speed and add dry (flour) ingredients slowly, mixing until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
  4. Refrigerate dough for at least 2-3 hours (and up to 24-36 hours).
  5. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  6. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly browning on top.
  8. Let cookies sit on baking sheet for 5 minutes; then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
  9. Store in an airtight container and use with 3-4 days - or freeze for later use.

Notes

You can also give these cookies a sprinkle of sea salt on top before you bake them - it's delicious!
