Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a stand mixer, cream together cold butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and creamy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, whisk together cake flour, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add dry mixture to the wet ingredients on low speed until just combined.
Fold in chocolate chips and walnuts until evenly distributed.
Divide the dough into 9 equal portions (approximately 6 ounces each) and shape into rough balls without flattening.
Chill the dough on lined baking sheets for at least 30 minutes before baking.
Bake cookies for about 10-11 minutes until golden around the edges but still slightly underbaked in the center.
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 10-15 minutes before transferring them to wire racks.
