Ingredients

1 cup Kerrygold butter cold and cut into cubes
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
1½ cups cake flour
1½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cornstarch
¾ teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon salt
2 cups 70% Guittard chocolate chips
2 cups walnuts roughly chopped

Instructions

Preheat oven to 410 degrees.
In large mixing bowl, cream together cold cubed butter, brown sugar, and sugar for 4 minutes or until creamy.
Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each one, then the vanillas.
Stir in flours, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips and walnuts.
Use a 2.66oz cookie scoop to scoop dough into large balls and place on light colored cookie sheet. You should be able to get 15 cookies, and I recommend baking them 5 to a cookie sheet.
Bake for 11 minutes or until golden brown on the top. Let cookies rest for at least 10 minutes before eating.
