Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup brown sugar (firmly packed)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs (room temperature preferred)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 cups cake flour (see note - do not sub all purpose flour without reading note)
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 8 oz chocolate bar (chopped, see note)
Ingredients are subject to availability at local stores. Unavailable items will be automatically substituted at best-effort.
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup (226g) softened unsalted butter, 1 cup (200g) firmly packed brown sugar, and ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar. Use an electric mixer to beat until light and well-creamed.
- Add 2 large eggs (room temperature) and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together 4 cups (450g) cake flour (SEE NOTE – do not substitute all-purpose flour without reading the note!), 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ¼ teaspoon baking soda, and ¾ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until completely combined.
- Add 8 oz of chopped chocolate bar (or 2 cups/340g semisweet chocolate chips). Use a spatula to fold in until well distributed.
- Cover the bowl and chill the dough for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Once the dough has chilled, scoop into ⅓-cup sized scoops (use an ice cream scoop). Drop onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing at least 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 13-14 minutes, until the edges are just beginning to turn light golden brown. The centers will appear slightly under-baked—this is perfect.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before removing. They will be fragile and prone to breaking while warm. The centers will set as they cool. Enjoy!
