Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cake flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Mix Dough
  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine cold butter and both sugars. Mix on medium speed until creamy and well blended. Scrape down the sides.
  2. Add the cold egg and vanilla. Mix just until combined.
  3. Toss in the chopped chocolate, 1 cup of chocolate chips, and walnuts, then add the flour mixture. Mix on low speed until the flour is just incorporated.
Bake
  1. Use a large 1/2 cup cookie scoop to divide the dough into 10 equal balls. Press the remaining chocolate chips on top.
  2. Bake for 12 to 13 minutes until the edges and bottoms turn golden brown. If desired, sprinkle some sea salt on top.
  3. Let them cool on the sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chill dough for an hour for thicker cookies. Suitable for freezing up to 3 months.
