Ingredients
Scale
Cookies:
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup walnuts, chopped
Flours and Leavening Agents:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cake flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Sugars and Fats:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 400F (200C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal cookie baking.
- In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine flour varieties, leavening agents, and seasoning using a whisk to ensure even distribution.
- Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, blend cold butter with sugar varieties until the mixture becomes light, airy, and slightly pale.
- Incorporate eggs individually into the butter-sugar mixture, ensuring complete integration after each addition.
- Gradually introduce dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined to maintain cookie texture.
- Gently fold chocolate chips and chopped walnuts into the dough, distributing evenly throughout the mixture.
- Form substantial dough portions (approximately 4 oz each), carefully placing them on the prepared baking sheet with adequate spacing.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, watching for a golden exterior while maintaining a soft, gooey center.
- Allow cookies to rest briefly on the baking sheet, permitting slight cooling and structural stabilization before transferring to a serving plate.
Notes
- Maintain cold butter for optimal texture, ensuring the cookies stay dense and rich.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips with at least 60% cocoa for deeper, more complex flavor profiles.
- Consider chilling dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and create thicker cookies.
- Experiment with alternative nuts like pecans or macadamia for different taste variations and personal preferences.
