Cakey Chocolate Chip Cookies

By srumbel

So, I searched for another Chocolate Chip recipe in my Food Network Magazine that I found my Soft and Chewy Cookies in. Those turned out WONDERFUL, so I thought I would try a more cakey recipe. These cookies use CAKE FLOUR and Cornstarch which help the cookies puff up instead of spread out.

Remove from the oven and let cool on cookie sheets for 10 minutes before moving to a rack.
