Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
  • 1 cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 ½ cups cake flour
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 cups walnuts (roughly chopped)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a stand mixer, cream together cold butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together cake flour, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture until just incorporated.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips and walnuts evenly into the dough.
  7. Divide dough into nine equal portions (about 6 ounces each) and shape into rough balls without flattening them; chill for at least 30 minutes.
  8. Bake cookie dough balls spaced apart on prepared sheets for about 10-11 minutes or until edges are golden brown but centers remain slightly underbaked.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on sheets for about 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
