Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups minus 2 tbsp (8.5 oz) cake flour
  • 1 ⅔ cups (8.5 oz) bread flour
  • 1 ¼ tsp baking soda
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 ½ tsp coarse salt
  • 2 ½ sticks (1 ¼ cups) unsalted butter, cool room temperature
  • 1 ¼ cups (10 oz) dark brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup plus 2 tbsp (8 oz) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, cold
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ lbs bittersweet chocolate feves or disks (at least 60% cacao)

Method
 

  1. Sift both flours, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a bowl. Whisk to combine.
  2. In a stand mixer with the paddle, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium for 5 minutes, scraping once.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time with the mixer on low, then the vanilla, mixing just until combined.
  4. Add the dry ingredients in three additions on low speed, mixing only until absorbed. Fold in the chocolate feves by hand. Cover and refrigerate at least 24 hours.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop 3.5 oz mounds of dough onto lined baking sheets, 2 inches apart. Bake one sheet at a time for 18-20 minutes.
  6. Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Chill the dough at least 24 hours and preferably 36 hours. The hands-on prep is quick, but the rest time is not included in the prep above. If baking from frozen, add 2-3 minutes to the bake time.
