Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 0.75 cup Light brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 cup Cake flour
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1.5 cups Walnuts, roughly chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 410°F (210°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat the cold cubed butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium-high speed until the mixture is creamy and smooth, about 4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the cake flour and all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.

Step 6

Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

For each cookie, take about 1/4 cup of dough and form it into a rough, large ball — do not flatten. You should get 8 large cookies.

Step 8

Place the shaped cookies onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between them to allow for spreading.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 16 to 18 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look soft and slightly underbaked.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool further.

Step 11

Enjoy these rich, thick cookies warm or store them in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
