Ingredients  

• ▢1 cup Cold Butter cut into small cubes
• ▢1 cup Brown Sugar
• ▢1/2 cup Sugar
• ▢2 Eggs
• ▢1 1/2 cups Cake Flour*
• ▢1 1/2 cups Flour
• ▢1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• ▢3/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
• ▢3/4 teaspoon Salt
• ▢2 cups Chocolate Chips
• ▢2 cups Walnuts roughly chopped (optional)

Instructions 

• Preheat oven to 410 degrees.
• In a large mixing bowl, cream together cold cubed butter, brown sugar, and sugar for 4 minutes or until creamy.
• Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each one.
• Stir in flours, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined to avoid overmixing. Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts.
• Separate dough into large balls and place on lightly colored cookie sheet. They are bigger than you think! You will fit 4 cookies on one large cookie sheet. The dough makes 8 extra large cookies.
• Bake for 9-12 minutes or until golden brown on the top. Let them rest for at least 10 minutes to set.

Notes

*can substitute all-purpose flour for cake flour

*Levain Bakery has stated they don’t use vanilla extract in their cookies. If you would like to add vanilla extract, I would suggest adding 1 teaspoon when adding the eggs to the batter.
