Instructions
- Whisk together your dry ingredients – the flours, baking soda, baking powder and sea salt in a bowl and set aside.120 g All-Purpose Flour, 60 g Bread Flour, ¼ teaspoon Baking Soda, ¾ teaspoon Baking Powder, ½ teaspoon Sea Salt
- Place the butter and sugars in your mixing bowl and using the paddle attachment, cream until you reach a fluffy, rather pale color. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Make sure to take a second to scrape down the bowl before then adding your egg mixing for an additional 3 minutes.114 g Unsalted Butter, 100 g Granulated Sugar, 100 g Brown Sugar, 1 Large Egg
- Slowly add the dry ingredients in three separate stages. Finally, mix in roughly chopped chocolate.170 g Chocolate Chips
- Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop your chilled dough into small balls. Place the scooped cookie dough in an airtight container and let them rest in the fridge at least an hour or so until firm and chilled. In the post above, I lay out a few reasons as to why I would recommend letting the dough chill for 24 hours!
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare your baking tray with parchment paper.
- Place your preferred number of cookies onto a baking sheet, and bake for about 10-13 minutes or until the edges have JUST started to brown. Remove from the oven and reshape as desired with a large circular cookie cutter, gently scooting the edges back to a perfectly circular shape. Then, let the cookies sit undisturbed for 3-5 minutes. Finally, transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool completely.Flaky sea salt
Notes
If you don’t end up baking off all your cookies at once, place your scooped extras in a ziplock bag and throw into the freezer. Bake them fresh as desired!
