Extra-large, chewy chocolate chip cookies loaded with walnuts, inspired by the famous Levain Bakery style.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 cups cold butter (cut into small cubes)
  • 1 cups brown sugar
  • 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups cake flour*
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 2 cups chocolate chips
  • 2 cups walnuts (roughly chopped)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 410 degrees.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together cold cubed butter, brown sugar, and sugar for 4 minutes or until creamy.
  3. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each one.
  4. Stir in flours, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined to avoid overmixing. Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts.
  5. 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.
  6. Bake for 9-12 minutes or until golden brown on the top. Let them rest for at least 10 minutes to set.

Notes

I did not have cake flour but subbing with AP flour and a little extra corn starch worked just fine
