Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 3/4 cup Cake flour
- 1 tsp. corn starch
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup cold, unsalted butter, cubed
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed (dark brown works too!)
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips
Directions
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Whisk together All-purpose flour, cake flour, baking soda, baking powder, cornstarch and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Place cubed butter into the bowl of a stand mixer and secure the paddle attachment. Turn the mixer on a medium-low setting.
- Let the mixer cream the butter for 30 seconds, and then add in the brown sugar and mix 30 seconds, followed by the white sugar for 30 seconds. Cream until light and fluffy
- Add in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and blend until mixed. If any of the butter gets stuck on the paddle attachment use a rubber spatula to knock it off.
- With the mixer on low speed, gradually add in the flour mixture. Add it in a little at a time until ingredients are incorporated.
- Then add in the chocolate chips and mix just until the chocolate chips are incorporated. Turn off the machine.
- Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. The secret is to pull them out before you think they are done.
- Let them rest on the cookie sheet for at least 15-30 minutes.
