Thick Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

• 2.25 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp cornstarch
• 1 tsp cinnamon powder
• 0.75 cup dark brown sugar
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup salted butter (Cold and cut into cubes)
• 2 eggs (Cold)
• 1 tbsp vanilla bean paste
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup milk chocolate chips
• 6 oz extra chocolate chips (For topping; amount not specified)
• parchment paper (For lining the baking sheet)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon powder, and cornstarch. Set the dry mixture aside.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, cream together the dark brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cold cubed salted butter until light and fluffy.

4. 4

   Beat in the cold eggs one at a time. Add the vanilla bean paste, then beat the mixture for 3–4 minutes, until the batter is pale and the sugar is well incorporated.

5. 5

   Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

6. 6

   Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and milk chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

7. 7

   Scoop the dough into 6-ounce balls. Leave the dough balls slightly rough and stacked to create a rustic texture.

8. 8

   Arrange 4 dough balls on each prepared baking sheet, leaving 4 inches of space between them. Top the dough balls with extra chocolate chips.

9. 9

   Chill the shaped dough for 30 minutes.

10. 10

    Bake the chilled cookies on the middle rack for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.

11. 11

    Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.

12. 12

    Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and let them cool completely.
