Finally nailed it... the BEST chocolate chip cookie ever!

Chocolate chip cookies are such a basic thing to bake and everyone loves them. I decided that I really needed to have a good recipe to fall back on. My mom always made the best ones! I think she just used the recipe on the back of the Nestle bag but they were so good! I have since learned that cookies have to have just the right balance of flour or they spread everywhere just like my epic fail. 

Since then, I have been on the search for the perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe. I finally found it! Seriously, these cookies are amazing. I guarantee if you follow this recipe, they will come out perfectly every time! I have made them a few times and am amazed at the fact that I get consistent and delicious results. The key is in using the two different kinds of flour. The cookies are perfectly soft and chewy. The chopped chocolate ensures that every bite is filled with gooey chocolatey goodness. Oh my... yum!

Worlds Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

2 sticks butter

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup packed light-brown sugar

2 large eggs

1 1/2 cups cake flour

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 Tbs. salt

1 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 Tbs. vanilla

8 oz. semisweet chocolate, cut into chunks

8 oz. milk chocolate, cut into chunks

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick baking mats; set aside.

Cream together softened butter and sugars. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add vanilla.

Reduce speed to low and add both flours, baking powder, and baking soda. Add chocolate chunks; mix until well combined.

Scoop about a tablespoon of cookie dough and roll into a ball and slightly flatten. Place dough onto prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Refrigerate for about an hour. Bake until lightly browned, but still soft, 10-12 minutes. Cool slightly on baking sheets before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
