📝 Preparation Steps
1
Before you start, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Note that the dough must be chilled overnight or at least for ⏱️ 6-8 hours before baking! Baking them any sooner will result in excess spreading.
2
Cream the butter and sugars. Cream together the butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about ⏱️ 3 minutes.
3
Mix in the wet ingredients. Mix in the egg and vanilla bean paste until just combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl if needed.
large egg (room temperature)1vanilla bean paste1 tablespoon
4
Mix in the dry ingredients. Mix in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, vanilla powder, and salt until almost combined. Then fold in the chocolate chips.
vanilla powder (optional, but adds tons of flavor!)2 teaspoons
5
Scoop and chill the dough. Scoop the cookie dough into six 5 oz balls onto the prepared baking sheet. Mold the dough so that it is just over 2 inches tall. This allows them to bake slowly and not spread as much. Press more chocolate morsels on top for melty pools of chocolate. Use a scale for accuracy, it's a little more than a 1/2 cup of dough. Cover the tray tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or for at least ⏱️ 6-8 hours.
6
Bake! Preheat the oven to 350 F/180 C. Place 2-3 chilled cookies max on a parchment-lined baking tray (leave the others in the fridge). Bake for ⏱️ 16-18 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the center is still soft and underbaked. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt out of the oven if desired. After ⏱️ 10 minutes, use a spatula to transfer the cookies to a wire rack to finish cooling. You won't be able to fully pick them up for about 30-60 mintues!
7
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days. They can be reheated in the oven or microwave to soften.
8
For freezer chill: Chill the dough balls until firm, then transfer them to an airtight container or freezer bag for 1-3 months. Defrost them in the fridge for ⏱️ 24 hours before baking!
