2. In a bowl, combine the all-purpose and cake flours with the salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Whisk to blend them.

3. In an electric mixer, cream the butter until soft and light. Add the brown and granulated sugars and beat until smooth.

4. Beat in eggs, followed by the vanilla.

7. With a teaspoon, drop mounds of the batter on the baking sheets, leaving 1 1/2-inches between each mound. Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes or until they are just set.

8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Store in airtight containers. Adapted from Todd English
