How to make Salty Chocolate Chunk Cookies
INGREDIENTS
-
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
-
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
-
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
-
3/4 cup (packed) light brown sugar
-
1/2 cup sugar
-
1/4 cup powdered sugar
-
2 large egg yolks
-
1 large egg
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
8 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate (do not exceed 72% cacao), coarsely chopped
-
Maldon or other flaky sea salt
RECIPE PREPARATION
-
Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat to 375°. Whisk flour, baking powder, kosher salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl; set aside.
-
Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter, brown sugar, sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes. Add egg yolks, egg, and vanilla. Beat, occasionally scraping down the sides of the bowl, until mixture is pale and fluffy, 4-5 minutes. Reduce mixer speed to low; slowly add dry ingredients, mixing just to blend. Using a spatula, fold in chocolate.
-
Spoon rounded tablespoonfuls of cookie dough onto 2 parchment paper-lined baking sheets, spacing 1-inch apart. Sprinkle cookies with sea salt.
-
Bake cookies, rotating sheets halfway through, until just golden brown around the edges, 10-12 minutes (the cookies will firm up as they cool). Let cool slightly on baking sheets, then transfer to wire racks; let cool completely.
Note: Cookies can be made 1 day ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
