Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 3.5 cups all-purpose flour Sifted
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1.5 tsp baking powder
  • 1.25 tsp baking soda
  • 1.5 tsp sea salt Divided

Wet Ingredients

  • 1.25 cups unsalted butter Room temperature (2 1/2 sticks)
  • 1.33 cups brown sugar Packed
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2.25 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs

Chocolate Ingredients

  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 0.5 cup bittersweet chocolate (60% cacao or higher) Chopped into chip-sized chunks
  • sea salt For sprinkling on top before baking

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and 1.5 teaspoons of sea salt. Set aside.
  • In another large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugars together with a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the vanilla extract, and then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips, chocolate chunks, and any chocolate shavings created during the chopping.
  • Place the cookie dough into an air-tight container and chill for at least 3 hours, preferably 24 hours. For the best flavor, chill the dough for 72 hours.

Baking

  • When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or baking mats.
  • Using a standard-size cookie scoop (1.5 tablespoons), place dollops of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 12 cookies per sheet.
  • Sprinkle a little sea salt on top of each dough ball, then bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the tops are lightly golden.
  • The centers should look a little soft but not doughy.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

These cookies are best enjoyed warm from the oven or paired with a cold glass of milk. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for about a week. Freeze cookies in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to three months.
