Step Instruction
1In a large bowl, sift together (or whisk) the cake flour, bread flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
2In the bowl, mix the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together for 5 minutes (2a), until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time until mixed (2b), and then vanilla (2c). Continue mixing for an additional minute.
3Turn mixer to low and add in the flour mixture, until just combined. Fold in the chocolate until evenly incorporated. Cover and chill dough for 24-72 hours.
4When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F.
5Allow the chilled dough to sit out at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before baking to soften slightly. Scoop out 3.5 ounces of dough for each cookie. Place mounds onto your baking sheet, spacing them 3- inches apart.
6Bake cookies for 15-18 minutes, until the edges are golden. Turn your baking sheet 180- degrees once, halfway through baking.
7Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with salt. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
