NEW YORK TIMES CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES WITH SEA SALT
Ingredients
- 2 cups minus 2 tablespoons 8 1/2 ounces cake flour
- 1 ⅔ cups 8 1/2 ounces bread flour
- 1 ¼ teaspoons baking soda
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons coarse salt
- 2 ½ sticks 1 1/4 cups unsalted butter
- 1 ¼ cups 10 ounces light brown sugar
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons 8 ounces granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons natural vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ pounds bittersweet chocolate disks at least 60 percent cacao content (I PREFER 2 BAGS GHIRARDELLI BITTERSWEET CHIPS)
- Sea salt
Instructions
- directions:
- Sift flours, baking soda, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Set aside.
- Using a mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream butter and sugars together until very light, about 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla. Reduce speed to low, add dry ingredients and mix until just combined, 5 to 10 seconds. Drop chocolate pieces in and incorporate them without breaking them. 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.
- When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat. Set aside.
- Scoop 6 3 1/2-ounce mounds of dough (Pictures ones were smaller at 1.75 ounces each but the larger ones were better) 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. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt and bake until golden brown but still soft, 17 to 20 minutes. 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. Eat warm, with a big napkin.
- BASED ON RECIPE FROM Jacques Torres, recipe from the NY Times

Made these cookies and they are very delicious!! The smell is amazing!! Although the NY times adaption does not taste like the actual cookie made by Jacques Torress, which are even better when you get them at the store. This is one of the best homemade cookie recipes out there though and is worth the wait!
