→ Wet Ingredients
06 -
1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
07 -
3/4 cup brown sugar

# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. The mixture should become pale, fluffy, and visibly lighter in color.
03 -
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture and beat until just combined, about 30 seconds.
04 -
Add the cake flour, all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined.
05 -
Fold the chocolate chips into the dough using a large spoon or rubber spatula until evenly distributed.
06 -
Divide the dough into 8–10 equal portions for large cookies (5-6 ounces each). Roll each portion into a ball with your hands and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 3 inches apart (4 per baking sheet).
07 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 11–14 minutes, or until the tops of the cookies are golden brown.
08 -
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes before serving warm. Alternatively, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
