Instructions

Make the Cookie Dough:

  1. Sift first 6 dry ingredients together into a bowl.
  2. Using another mixer bowl (using a paddle), cream butter and sugars together until very light, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each egg. Stir in vanilla.
  4. On low speed, add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, 5 to 10 seconds.
  5. Drop chocolate chunks or pieces in and incorporate them without breaking them (I use a spatula).
  6. Press plastic wrap against dough and refrigerate for 24 to 36 hours. Afterwards, either bake or freeze the dough.

Bake the Cookies:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F/175° C.
  2. Place 2 ½ ounce scoops of dough onto a silicone sheet lined cookie sheet. Bake until golden brown but still soft, 15-18 minutes.
  3. Remove and place on a cooling rack. Repeat with remaining dough, or keep dough refrigerated.

Notes

  • Alternatively, you can shape the cookies then freeze on a tray and then place in a bag to keep frozen, to bake another time. To bake from frozen: place on cookie sheet and leave for an hour, then bake as instructed.
  • If you choose not to weigh your ingredients, please realize that your results will vary each and every time you make these. Weight is the only way to guarantee good results.
  • The chocolate amount will vary if you use cups due to the size difference of your choice of chocolate. I recommend a scale.
  • DO NOT USE HERSHEYS, NESTLE or other US type chocolate as these do not have 60% cacao
