Ingredients
 
 

  • 2-1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1-1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cold large eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla bean paste
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, slightly softened
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1-1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cornstarch. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the dark brown sugar, granulated sugar, and softened butter until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add the cold eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla bean paste and continue to beat until the mixture becomes pale and smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix to ensure a tender cookie.
  6. Gently fold in both the semi-sweet and dark chocolate chips, ensuring an even distribution throughout the dough.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop dough balls of 3-4 tablespoons each onto the prepared baking sheet. For a rustic texture, leave the dough balls slightly rough and stacked. Place only 4 cookies on each baking sheet, ensuring 4 inches of space between each.
  8. Top the dough with additional chocolate chips for an extra indulgent look.
  9. Bake for 13-16 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden brown. For the best results, bake on the middle rack of your oven.
  10. Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Butter: For the best texture, make sure the butter is slightly softened, but not melted. This helps create the perfect balance of chewiness and crispiness in the cookies.
  • Chocolate Chips: You can adjust the ratio of semi-sweet to dark chocolate chips to suit your preferences. For an even richer taste, you can use all dark chocolate chips or all semi-sweet chips.
  • Resting the Dough: For thicker, chewier cookies, you can refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to 1 hour before baking. This allows the dough to firm up, giving the cookies a more substantial texture.
  • Cookie Size: For larger cookies, ensure to leave enough space between each dough ball on the baking sheet, as these cookies spread while baking.
  • Storage: Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze them for up to 3 months. To thaw, simply leave at room temperature for a few hours or microwave briefly.
  • Baking Time: Oven temperatures may vary, so keep an eye on your cookies during the last few minutes of baking. The cookies are done when the edges are golden brown, and the centers are slightly soft.
