Ingredients
  

  • 225 grams unsalted butter room temperature
  • 220 grams light brown sugar
  • 220 grams sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 250 grams all-purpose flour
  • 250 grams bread flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon flaked sea salt
  • 500 grams chocolate chopped

Instructions
 

  • Cream butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer for 3 to 4 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until combined, add vanilla.

  • Yes. I actually weighed the dough before I rolled it into balls. Each ball weighed 70 grams. A little much? Yes. But it gave me such satisfaction to nail it on the first try. Roll the dough into balls. I got about 24 cookies from this recipe. Preheat the oven to 350°. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

  • Bake for 16 to 18 minutes. The edges should be golden brown, but the middle should be not quite done yet.

  • Remove from oven, sprinkle with additional sea salt and cool on a rack for a few minutes before transferring to cool completely on a wire rack. Repeat until all cookies have baked.
