What You Need
  • 5.5oz unbleached AP flour
  • 5.5oz whole wheat flour
  • ⅓ TB baking powder
  • ½ TB kosher salt
  • 2 sticks of unsalted butter, softened
  • ¼ cup white granulated sugar
  • 5.5oz light brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • ⅔ TB Vanilla
  • 11oz Dark Chocolate Chips (The better the chocolate, the better the cookie.)
  • Flake Salt (Such as Maldon) or Course Sea Salt
What to Do
  1. Place softened butter and both sugars into the bowl of a mixer and blend until butter and sugars are completely smooth with no streaks. (About four minutes.)
  2. In a separate bowl, mix together flours, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Turn your mixer on low, and add your egg and vanilla to your butter mixture to incorporate. Add your flour mix in three parts until it forms a batter. On the lowest speed, add your chocolate chips. It will seem like there is almost too much chocolate for the batter, but that’s exactly what you want.
  4. You may proceed to eating this raw, because it’s amazing and it’s your life. But what I like to do while it’s at room temperature, is scoop them out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and chill for at least two hours before baking. You don’t have to if you’re in a pinch, but this allows the cookie to spread more evenly.
  5. Before you put the cookies in the oven, take a tiny pinch of flake or sea salt and sprinkle in the middle of each cookie.
  6. Bake at 375 for 15-17 minutes, until edges are dark brown, and setting light brown in the center.
  7. Enjoy!
