Cakey Chocolate Chip Cookies
- 3 3/4 cups cake flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 sticks cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 1/4 cups packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- Whisk the flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a large bowl.
- Beat the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in a bowl with a mixer on medium speed until combined but still slightly lumpy (use the paddle attachment for a stand mixer).
- The biggest lumps should be about the size of small peas; do not overbeat.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time.
- Reduce the mixer speed to low; add the flour mixture in batches and beat until combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips by hand.
- Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the dough and refrigerate at least 2 hours or preferably overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Drop 2 1/2-inch scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
- Bake until the cookies are barely golden around the edges, about 20 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through.
- Turn off the oven but keep the cookies inside for 5 more minutes to set.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let cool 10 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
