Step by Step Method

Step 1

Sift flours, baking soda, baking powder and kosher salt into a bowl. Set aside.

Step 2

Using a mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream butter and sugars together until very light, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Step 4

Stir in the vanilla. Reduce speed to low, add dry ingredients and mix until just combined, 5 to 10 seconds.

Step 5

Drop chocolate pieces in and incorporate them without breaking them.

Step 6

Press plastic wrap against dough and refrigerate for 24 to 36 hours. Dough may be used in batches, and can be refrigerated for up to 72 hours.

Step 7

When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350°.

Step 8

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat. Set aside.

Step 9

Scoop six 3 1/2-ounce mounds of dough (the size of generous golf balls) onto baking sheet, making sure to turn horizontally any chocolate pieces that are poking up; it will make for a more attractive cookie.

Step 10

Sprinkle lightly with sea salt and bake until golden brown but still soft, 18 to 20 minutes.

Step 11

Transfer sheet to a wire rack for 10 minutes, then slip cookies onto another rack to cool a bit more. Repeat with remaining dough, or reserve dough, refrigerated, for baking remaining batches the next day.

Step 12

Best when eaten warm.
