• Cool sheets before reusing.
• Dough can be refrigerated a day or two or frozen.

Steps:

• Whisk together the all-purpose flour, cake flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
• Use a stand mixer or an electric hand mixer to beat the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar on low speed, about 30 seconds. Add in the eggs one at a time. Add the dry ingredients a little at time and beat to combine. Set aside about 1/4 cup of the dark chocolate chips for the topping, then mix in the remaining dark chocolate chips and semi-sweet chocolate chunks.
• Portion extra-large balls of dough with a 1-cup ice cream scoop on two baking sheets lined with parchment paper. With the reserved dark chocolate chips, press a few chips right on top of each ball. This will help to get little pools of chocolate. Place 4 to 5 balls of dough on each prepared baking sheet and place in the freezer for at least an hour and up to overnight.
• When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Bake one sheet of cookies at a time, until the edges and spots on top are golden but the insides are still slightly doughy, 15 to 18 minutes.

• VARIATIONS.
• BAR COOKIES: HEAT oven to 375ºF. Follow recipe above to prepare dough. Spray a 13 x 9-inch pan with no-stick cooking spray. Spread dough evenly in pan.

• PLACE one-fourth of dough in center of foil. Form into a small circle with spatula or rubber scraper. Spray 12-inch square of wax paper with no-stick cooking spray. Place sprayed side down on top of dough. Flatten with round cake pan or pie pan to form a 7-inch circle. Remove wax paper.
• BAKE 9 to 10 minutes or until light golden color. Cool 5 minutes on baking sheet on a cooling rack. Remove to rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining cookie dough.
• CHOCOLATE DRIZZLE OR DIP: DRIZZLE: Melt 1 cup semi-sweet or white chocolate pieces with 1 teaspoon shortening over very low heat. Stir well. If too thick to drizzle, add 1/8 to 1/2 teaspoon more shortening to thin. Drizzle from end of spoon back and forth over cookie. Sprinkle with nuts before chocolate hardens. To harden chocolate quickly, place in refrigerator for a few minutes.
