Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 10 Tbsp salted butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup cake flour
  • 3/4 cup bread flour
  • 1/2 tsp (heaping) baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp (heaping) baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 1/2 cups chocolate chips, divided (milk, semisweet, or bittersweet)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (180°C) to prepare for baking the cookies.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a stand mixer bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Cream them together thoroughly for 5 minutes, pausing halfway to scrape the bowl’s sides to ensure even mixing.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Reduce mixer speed to low and incorporate the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Gradually add cake flour, bread flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to the wet mixture. Mix just until the dough comes together without overmixing.
  5. Add and Chop Chocolate Chips: Reserve 1 cup chocolate chips. Roughly chop 1 1/2 cups of the chips and fold them into the dough evenly for a rich chocolate presence throughout.
  6. Portion the Dough: Use a 2 tsp cookie scoop to portion the dough onto a parchment or silicone-lined baking sheet, spacing cookies for even baking.
  7. Bake: Bake the cookies for 8 to 11 minutes or until they have spread out and edges start turning golden brown.
  8. Cool on Pan and Rack: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Melt Remaining Chocolate: Microwave the reserved chocolate chips at 50% power for 30 seconds intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
  10. Prepare for Chocolate Coating: Transfer the melted chocolate into a piping bag or zip-top bag with a small corner cut.
  11. Pipe Chocolate and Attach Cookies: Pipe 1-2 tsp of melted chocolate onto a silicone mat or parchment paper, then place a cooled cookie on top and press gently to coat the bottom with chocolate.
  12. Set Chocolate: Allow the chocolate to harden completely before handling or storing the cookies.
  13. Enjoy and Store: Serve these delicious cookies fresh or store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Notes

  • Use a stand mixer for best results when creaming the butter and sugar.
  • Chop chocolate chips roughly to avoid large chunks and ensure even distribution.
  • The combination of cake flour and bread flour gives the cookies a tender yet chewy texture.
  • Adjust the amount and type of chocolate chips to suit your taste (milk, semisweet, or bittersweet).
  • Allowing the chocolate to set on the bottom adds a delightful textural contrast.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days to maintain freshness.
