Equipment
- Stand Mixer with Paddle Attachment
Ingredients
- 241 Grams Cake Flour (2 Cups minus 2 Tbsp)
- 241 Grams Bread Flour (1 2/3 Cups)
- 1 1/4 Tsp Baking Soda
- 1 1/2 Tsp Baking Powder
- 1 1/2 Tsp Kosher Salt
- 1 1/4 Cup Unsalted Butter
- 1 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
- 227 Grams Granulated Sugar (1 Cup plus 2 Tbsp)
- 2 Large Eggs
- 2 Tsp Vanilla Extract
- 20 Ounces 60% Cocao Bittersweet Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the bread flour, cake flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Set it aside
- Affix the paddle attachment to a stand mixer and the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and butter to the mixer's bowl. Turn the mixer to a medium low speed and cream the sugars and butter (about 5 minutes). Once the sugars are creamed, add the eggs one at a time, allowing the first to fully incorporate before adding the second. Now stir in the vanilla extract.
- Adjust the mixer speed to low and slowly add in the dry ingredients from step 1 until just incorporated, do not over mix. then add the chocolate chips and mix until evenly distributed through the dough.
- Lay a sheet of plastic wrap flat on the counter and move the dough to it. Wrap the dough tightly, using a second sheet of wrap if needed. Place the dough in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours (up to 36 hours)
- After 12 hours of cooling, remove the dough from the fridge and pre heat your oven to 350 degrees. Prep a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper.
- Cut the dough into thirds, then cut each third into thirds. Then cut each of your 9 pieces of dough in half to give you 18 evenly sized clumps of cookie dough. Use your hands to round the clumps into balls.
- Place six dough balls evenly spaced on your baking sheet, then sprinkle with a small amount of kosher or sea salt. Move to the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Move the baked cookies to a cooling rack and repeat the baking process with another batch of six cookies. Repeat until all the dough is baked.
- Enjoy.
