Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (230g) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 3/4 cup (150g) packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, cold
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 1/4 cups (400g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup (120g) chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place your racks in the center of the oven for even baking.
  2. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat cold unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Beat in eggs, one at a time, followed by vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Gently fold in chocolate chips and walnuts, if using.
  8. Use an ice cream scoop or large spoon to scoop out 6-ounce balls of dough.
  9. Place the cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each. Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

[‘Use cold butter to create thick, bakery-style cookies.’, ‘Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavor and prevent spreading.’, ‘Experiment with different types of chocolate or add a pinch of flaky sea salt on top for extra flavor.’]
