Chocolate Chip Cookies Le Cordon Bleu (American)
Ingredients
-150g butter, soft (room temp or slightly softer)
-150g granulated sugar
-150g light brown sugar
-4g salt (optional)
-5g pure vanilla extract-2 eggs-150g all-purpose flour
-150g whole wheat pastry flour
-3/4 tsp baking soda-275g dark chocolate chips (I use
Ghirardelli)
- Sea salt (optional)Directions
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Place eggs in a bowl of warm water.
3. Using the mixing bowl from your Kitchen Aid, scale out butter,
sugars, and salt.
4. Use paddle attachment. On stir speed, cream together ingredients
until just incorporated then STOP.
5. In a separate bowl, scale out dry ingredients (flours and baking
soda).
6. Turn mixer back on stir and add eggs in one at a time then
vanilla. STOP mixing.
7. Sift flours and baking soda onto parchment paper.
8. Take bowl off mixing stand and dump in sifted ingredients.
9. On low mix ingredients until flour is barely incorporated (a
slight dust of dry flour is okay).
10. Scrape bowl with paddle attachment and mix again for 5 seconds
then STOP.
11. Take bowl off mixing stand and fold in chocolate chips.DO NOT
OVER MIX!
12. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a portion control
scoop (Preferably Size 20), scoop dough (level scoops) and place in
3x5 rows on parchment paper.
13. Sprinkle scoops with sea salt and chill in refrigerator for 20
minutes.DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP!
14. Remove from refrigerator and bake for ~12 minutes or until
edges are a deep golden brown.
15. Let cool for 5 minutes until placing on cooling rack. Let
cookies cool completely before placing in tupperware or plastic
bag. If you want to save these beauties for a later date, you can
store them in the freezer for up to 3 months! THAT will require a
lot of willpower. Woof.
