Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips
- 1 large egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter (cubed)
Flour and Dry Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cups (156 grams) all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup (90 grams) cake flour
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) light brown sugar (packed)
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) white granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Calibrate the oven temperature to a precise 400ºF for optimal baking conditions.
- Combine all dry ingredients – all-purpose flour, cake flour, baking soda, baking powder, cornstarch, and salt – in a spacious mixing vessel. Thoroughly whisk to ensure even distribution.
- Utilize a stand mixer with paddle attachment to cream the cubed butter, maintaining a medium-low speed for approximately 30 seconds until smooth.
- Introduce brown sugar into the butter mixture, blending for half a minute. Subsequently, incorporate white sugar and continue mixing until the texture becomes light and aerated.
- Integrate whole egg and additional egg yolk into the mixture, ensuring complete incorporation. Periodically scrape down the bowl’s interior to maintain consistent blending.
- Gradually fold the prepared dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, utilizing low-speed mixing to prevent over-working the dough.
- Gently fold chocolate chips into the developed dough, stirring minimally to maintain ingredient integrity.
- Portion the cookie dough precisely using a food scale, creating six substantial cookies approximately 5.7 oz each. Maintain a vertical height and resist flattening the portions.
- Arrange dough balls strategically on a baking sheet, allowing sufficient spacing between each cookie.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, watching for a golden-brown surface. Remove slightly before complete doneness to preserve a delectable, soft center.
- Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 15-30 minutes, enabling structural stabilization before transferring to a cooling rack for complete temperature reduction.
Notes
- Keep butter at room temperature for easier creaming and better cookie texture.
- Use a food scale for consistent, perfectly sized cookies that bake evenly.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and maintain the tall, thick shape.
- For gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose and cake flour with a high-quality gluten-free flour blend that includes xanthan gum.
