Family Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies

A thick, bakery-style chocolate chip cookie — the dough is frozen before baking so the centers stay soft and slightly underdone.

Prep: 20 min + 1 hr freezeBake: 15-18 minOven: 375°FYield: ~20 cookies

Steps

  1. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
  2. Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on low speed. Gradually add in the dry ingredients. Add the eggs one at a time, beating until combined. Mix in the chocolate chips.
  3. Form the dough into 1/2-cup balls and place on two parchment-lined baking sheets. Freeze for at least 1 hour, up to overnight.
  4. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375°F. Bake one sheet at a time, until the edges and top are light golden brown but the centers are still doughy and slightly underbaked, 15-18 minutes.
