Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a stand mixer, cream together cold butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
In a bowl, whisk together cake flour, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually incorporate dry ingredients into the wet mixture on low speed until just combined; avoid overmixing.
Fold in chocolate chips and walnuts gently.
Divide dough into 9 equal portions (about 6 ounces each), shape into rough balls without flattening, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
Bake for 10–11 minutes or until edges are golden brown but centers remain slightly underbaked.
Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 10–15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
