Ingredients

  • 1 cup salted butter at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 TBSP vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspnns coarse sea salt
  • 2 ¾ cup all purpose flour
  • 7 ounces 65% dark chocolate chips chopped into pieces
  • 6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • In a bowl whisk flour, baking soda, and baking powder, set aside.
  • Cream the butter and sugars in a stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla and continue mixing until incorporated.
  • Stop mixer and use a spatula to get the stuff off the bottom of the bowl.
  • Turn mixer to low and slowly add the flour mixture, mix on low until incorporated.
  • Add the chopped chocolate and chocolate chips and stir until evenly distributed.
  • Cover dough and refrigerate overnight.
  • When you are ready to bake, preheat oven to 350.
  • Using an ice cream scoop, portion out cookies onto baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silpat.
  • Bake for 9-12 minutes or until brown on the edges and a light brown on top. They will look a little underdone.
  • Let sit on pan to cool as they will bake a little more while cooling.
  • Remove to a rack to cool a bit more. Or eat while still warm.

Notes

I found that when the dough is very cold they take at least 12 minutes in my oven.
