Description

One of the best chocolate chip cookies I’ve ever had. Make sure to plan ahead!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 30 tbsp cake flour (aka 2 cups and then remove 2 tbsp of cake flour)
  • 1 2/3 cup bread flour
  • 1 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp coarse sea salt
  • 1 1/4 cups unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 1/4 cups light brown sugar
  • 18 tbsp white sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 lbs bittersweet chocolate disks (60% cacao)

Instructions

  1. Combine flours, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
  2. In a stand mixer or large bowl with a hand mixer, cream the butter and sugars until they’re light.
  3. Add eggs one at a time between mixes.
  4. Stir in vanilla.
  5. Slowly add flour and mix dough together on a low speed until combined.
  6. Drop in chocolate and incorporate them with a wooden spoon.
  7. Cover dough with plastic wrap and chill for 24 hours.
  8. Now that we’ve waited long enough, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  9. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  10. Scoop 6 large scoops onto the baking sheet. I used a large ice cream scoop.
  11. Sprinkle with a little sea salt.
  12. Bake until you get that beautiful golden color, but still soft. BE CAREFUL – I left a baking sheet in a little too long and the cookies were a little crunchy.
  13. Remove baking sheet from the oven and let rest on a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes.
  14. Move the cookies from the baking sheet to a wire rack to finish cooling.
  15. Repeat with your remaining dough! And try not to eat too many of these in one sitting 😉
