Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups unsalted butter melted
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cake flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ cups brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda dissolved in two tablespoons of hot water
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Kosher salt
  • 1 cup Ghirardelli white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup Ghirardelli milk chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped pecans optional

Instructions

  • Melt the butter and allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cake flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set it aside.
  • Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and melted butter to the bowl of a stand mixer and mix for 3-4 minutes. Make sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl.
  • Add the egg and egg yolk and mix until combined.
  • Combine the baking soda and two tablespoons of baking soda and add it to the butter mixture along with the vanilla extract.
  • Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture 1/2 cup at a time. Mix until it forms a cookie dough, and then fold in the chocolate chips and chopped pecans.
  • Refrigerate the cookie dough for a minimum of 3 hours but preferably overnight.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Scoop 1 ½ tablespoons of the cookie dough onto your prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 3 inches apart.
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes. it's perfectly fine if the center is not completely set when you take them out of the oven. The cookies will set as they cool.
  • Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure to refrigerate the cookie dough for a minimum of 3 hours but preferably overnight.
  • Do not bake the cookies for too long otherwise, they will turn out dry and too crunchy. I recommend baking them for 12-14 minutes, it's perfectly fine if the center is not completely set when you take them out of the oven. The cookies will set while they cool.
  • Serve the cookies warm for best results.
