Serves: 12
Ingredients
  • 1 cup cold Earth Balance Buttery Sticks (or regular butter) cut into small cubes
  • 1 cup (145g) light brown sugar, lightly packed
  • ½ (99g) cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1½ cups (160g) cake flour
  • 1½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon (scant) salt or ¾ teaspoons if using unsalted butter
  • 2 heaping cups (368g) chocolate chips
  • 2 cups (215g) walnuts, roughly chopped
Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  3. With a hand held mixer or stand mixer, cream together the cold butter cubes with the brown and white sugar for about 3 minutes until creamy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well between each addition.
  5. Stir in cake and all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt. Mix until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts.
  6. Lightly form 12 balls and place 6 on each cookie sheet. Each one should weigh about 4⅛ ounces.
  7. Bake one pan at a time for about 9 minutes, or until the tops of the cookies are light golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 10 minutes to firm up before transferring to a cooling rack. Repeat with the second batch of cookies.
