Yield:6 large cookies
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cup (292g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup (220g) unsalted European-style butter, room temperature
- 3/4 cup (150g) dark brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 egg yolk, room temperature
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste (or 2 tsp vanilla extract)
- 1 cup (160g) dark chocolate wafers or chips
- 3/4 cup (130g) milk chocolate bar, chopped
- Flaky sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugars on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla, then beat for about 3 minutes until creamy.
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients on low-medium speed until just combined. Fold in the chocolate using a rubber spatula without overmixing.
- Line a food scale with parchment paper and weigh each cookie to 6 oz (or 3/4 cup). Shape them tall and place on a tray. Chill uncovered for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place 3 cookies on a lined baking sheet, spaced well apart.
- Bake for 13-16 minutes until the edges are pale golden and the center looks doughy. If needed, bake an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and gently tap the tray against the countertop to flatten the cookies. Sprinkle with sea salt and let cool for 3-5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
