Ingredient
Food ration :
16 cookiesCooking time :
45 minutes, plus overnight chilling if desired
185 grams
all-purpose flour (1½ cups)
2 grams
baking soda (½ teaspoon)
100 grams
sugar (½ cup)
80 grams
light brown sugar (½ cup packed)
2 grams
salt (¼ teaspoon)
1
egg
5 grams
vanilla (1 teaspoon)
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Sift together flour and baking soda and set aside. In the bowl of a standing electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter until lemony yellow, about 2 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl and paddle. Add sugar, brown sugar and salt. Continue creaming mixture on medium speed until it is smooth and lump free, about 1 minute. Stop mixer and scrape down sides of bowl and paddle.
* Step 2
Add egg and vanilla and beat on low speed for 15 seconds, or until they are fully incorporated. Do not over-beat. Scrape down sides of bowl and paddle.
* Step 3
On low speed, add sifted flour mixture. Beat slowly until all of the flour is incorporated. Scrape down sides of bowl. Add chocolate chunks and mix in carefully by hand.
* Step 4
Remove small handfuls or spoonfuls of dough from mixer and plop them down on the middle of a sheet of parchment or wax paper, creating a log about 1½ inches wide and 12 inches long. Fold parchment over, creating a sausage.
* Step 5
Wrap in plastic. Chill for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
* Step 6
Heat oven to 350 degrees with the rack positioned in the lower third of the oven. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
* Step 7
Using a serrated knife, slice chilled dough into ⅓-inch-thick rounds and place them 2 inches apart on parchment-lined sheets and proceed. (Dough will keep nicely, tightly wrapped, in the refrigerator for 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 1 month. Thaw frozen dough at room temperature for 30 minutes before slicing.)
* Step 8
Bake one sheet at a time for 12 to 15 minutes, until lightly browned, rotating the baking sheet front to back halfway through. Remove from heat and slide parchment off baking sheet and onto a cooling rack. Allow cookies to cool for at least 5 minutes before serving, or for at least 20 minutes before storing in an airtight container. They will keep for up to 3 days at room temperature.
* Step 9
TIP: For even more chocolaty cookies, add another 30 to 60 grams (1 or 2 ounces) of chocolate. If you want flat, crispy cookies, when you go to turn the baking sheets halfway through the baking, tap them down on the back of the oven door before sliding them back in. This will cause the rising cookies to fall.
