Ingredients

  • 2 C minus 2 T (8 1/2 ounces) cake flour
  • 1 2/3 C (8 1/2 ounces) bread flour
  • 1 1/4 t baking soda
  • 1 1/2 t baking powder
  • 1 1/2 t coarse salt
  • 2 1/2 sticks (1 1/4 C) unsalted butter
  • 1 1/4 C (10 ounces) light brown sugar
  • 1 C plus 2 T (8 ounces) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 t vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 pounds chocolate chips (semi-sweet, milk chocolate, or both)

Preparation

Step 1

Sift flours, baking soda, baking powder and salt into a bowl and set aside.

Using a mixer with a paddle attachment, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy – about 5 minutes. Add eggs. Stir in vanilla. Reduce to low speed and add dry ingredients slowly, mixing until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips. Refrigerate dough for 24-36 hours.

When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
