Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cake flour, oats, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- Place the cold, cubed butter into the bowl of a stand mixer and secure the paddle attachment.
- Turn the mixer on the lowest setting. Let the mixer cream the butter for about 30 seconds, and then add in the brown sugar and mix for ~30 seconds, followed by the white sugar until incorporated.
- Then, add the egg, egg yolk, molasses, and vanilla extract. Blend until mixed. If any mixture gets stuck on the paddle attachment or sides of the bowl use a rubber spatula to knock it off.
- Keep the mixer on low speed and gradually add in the dry ingredients. I add in about ¼ cup at a time.
- Add in the chocolate chips until incorporated and then turn off the machine. If your dough is sticky at all, place in the fridge for a few minutes.
- Measure out ~6-7 large cookies. (or make them small if preferred). Roll each cookie dough into a dough ball, place on prepared cookie sheet and gently press cookies down just a little to flatten them.
- Bake the cookies for 9-11 minutes. The secret is to pull them out before you think they are done. Let the cookies rest on the cookie sheet for 15 minutes and then using a spatula transfer them to a cooling rack.
- Whisk the ingredients together for the glaze in a medium bowl.
- Drizzle over cooled cookies. I love these cookies the best day of, but are also freezer friendly for up to 3 months. Enjoy!
Notes
- Glaze: you can also melt chocolate in the microwave or double boiler and drizzle on top of the cookies, finish with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
- Swap out the chocolate chips with raisins for an oatmeal raisin cookie.
- No cake flour? No problem. I tested this recipe using a “homemade cake flour” recipe. It resulted in a very similar product and I thought it was better than the 100% All-Purpose cookie.
- To make homemade cake flour, you’ll need 14 Tbsp. All-purpose flour and 2 Tbsp. corn starch. Mix these together and sift them twice to get them fully mixed and aerated. This will make ~1 cup flour. You only need 3/4 cup for this recipe.
- I have also tested this recipe using 100% All Purpose Flour. The cookie seemed more dense, but still resulted in a delicious cookie recipe. I still recommend using cake flour or “making” cake flour if you can’t find it in stores.
