Ultra Thick and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies from My Country Table

Ultra Thick and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies - made dough June 23, 2025 from My Country Table

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup cake flour

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) cold butter, cut into cubes

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg, cold

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

4 ounces (1 bar) high quality semisweet chocolate, chopped into chunks

1 1/8 cup semisweet chocolate chips, divided

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cake flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine cold butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar, beating on medium speed until thoroughly combined and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat in egg and vanilla until combined.
3. Add flour, mixing on low speed until just combined. Fold in chopped chocolate and 1 cup chocolate chips, mixing until evenly disbursed.
4. Use a large cookie scoop to portion dough into 10 equal dough balls. Using remaining chocolate chips, press over tops and sides of dough balls. Cover and chill or freeze for 30 minutes.
5. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Evenly space dough balls, 5 to a baking sheet. Bake each sheet for 12-13 minutes or until edges are golden and middles no longer look raw. Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool completely.

These cookies didn't turn out "ultra thick" but they were good nonetheless. They weren't exactly thin but they definitely weren't as thick as other chocolate chip cookies I've made. Not sure what happened as I did my usual tricks of freezing the dough and baking from frozen dough. Still, they were tasty. The edges were crisp, the middles chewy and they had a good brown sugar caramel flavor. 

I'm still struggling with writing these blog posts so we'll just leave it as this is a good chocolate chip cookie recipe. And these days, do what you can to keep your mental health and equilibrium. In my case, I made these cookies and shared with good friends who I have common moral values with to show my appreciation of who they are. You know, those who believe democracy good, fascism bad, pedophiles really bad. And that an "underage female" is a child. Child. Don't use euphemisms that enable pedophiles to gloss over what they're doing. Ever.
