Gooey Chocolate Cookies (Print-Friendly Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Dough Prep

01 - 240g softened, chopped butter (unsalted)
02 - 135g golden brown sugar
03 - 100g white granulated sugar
04 - 2 large-sized eggs
05 - 120g cake flour, made from scratch
06 - 180g plain flour
07 - 1 teaspoon of baking soda
08 - 1 teaspoon of baking powder
09 - 0.5 teaspoon fine sea salt
10 - 250g walnut pieces
11 - 350g big chocolate chunks or chips

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Set your oven temperature to 200°C (400°F) to warm it up.
02 - Toss the butter pieces into a mixer bowl and mix on low. Pour in both sugars and crank it up to medium speed until you get a creamy texture, which takes about a minute.
03 - Gently add the eggs into the mix. Beat everything together on medium for around 30 seconds—don’t overdo it.
04 - Switch off the mixer. Then dump in the cake flour, regular flour, soda, powder, and salt. Stir everything on low until it’s all well blended.
05 - Use a spatula to mix in the walnut halves and those chocolate bits evenly.
06 - Split the dough into 8 roughly equal pieces, each about 170g. Shape them with your hands into rustic mounds—don’t flatten them out.
07 - Pop 4 dough mounds on each baking tray and slide them into the oven for 11 minutes. You’re aiming for slightly golden edges—don’t let them go too brown.
08 - Give the cookies at least 15 minutes to cool before enjoying them.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - To make your own cake flour, combine 120g of plain flour with 2 tbsp of cornstarch. Sift this blend a few times.
02 - Switch out milk chocolate chips for dark chocolate chunks if you’d like a different vibe.
