Chocolate Chip Cookies - New favorite!

It is highly recommended that you use a kitchen scale and weigh the ingredients for this recipe.

8½ ounces (2 cups minus 2 tablespoons) cake flour
8½ ounces (1⅔ cups) bread flour
1¼ teaspoons baking soda
1½ teaspoons baking powder
1½ teaspoons kosher salt
10 ounces (1¼ cups) unsalted butter, at room temperature
10 ounces (1¼ cups) light brown sugar
8 ounces (1 cup + 2 tablespoons) granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2½ cups semisweet chocolate chips
**I used regular flour and 2 sticks of butter


  1. Sift together the cake flour, bread flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt into a large bowl and set aside.
  2. Cream together the butter and sugars on medium speed until very light, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then add the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low, gradually add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, 5 to 10 seconds. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the chocolate chips.
  3. Press plastic wrap against the dough and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to 24 hours.
  4. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat.
  5. Scoop 2½ ounces of dough, roll into a rough ball (it should be the size of a large golf ball) and place on the baking sheet, leaving at least 2 inches of space between balls of dough. Bake until the edges of the cookies are light brown and set, but the centers still look pale, about 15 to 17 minutes. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Leftover cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or wrapped in plastic wrap, placed in a freezer bag and frozen for up to 3 months.
