Recipe: Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies

Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cake flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup each: packed dark brown sugar, granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 tablespoons whole milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup semisweet morsels
1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Have a greased baking sheet(s) ready.

Stir together both flours, baking powder and salt; set aside.

Beat together butter and sugars with an electric mixer on high speed until light, 2 minutes. Add the egg, milk and vanilla and beat 1 minute. Stop the mixer and add the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined. Fold in the semisweet morsels and nuts. Using a 1/4-cup measure, scoop dough onto baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.

Bake until cookies are browned and just set, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely. Store in an airtight container.

Makes 12 large cookies
