Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1/2 lb unsalted butter, room temperature; 1/2 cup granulated sugar, plus; 6 tablespoons granulated sugar; 1 cup light brown sugar, packed; 10 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed; 2 large eggs; 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla; 1 1/2 cups pastry flour, plus; 1 tablespoon pastry flour; 1 1/2 cups bread flour; 1 teaspoon baking powder; 1 teaspoon baking soda; 1 1/2 teaspoons salt; 1 lb good quality dark chocolate, chopped coarsely

Servings: persons

1/2 lb unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar, plus
6 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
10 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/2 cups pastry flour, plus
1 tablespoon pastry flour
1 1/2 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 lb good quality dark chocolate, chopped coarsely

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick baking mats; set aside. Don't grease the baking sheets because this might cause extra spreading.
2
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugars. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Reduce speed to low and add vanilla, then add both flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt and chocolate; mix until well combined.
3
Using a 4-ounce scoop for larger cookies or a 1-ounce scoop for smaller cookies, scoop cookie dough onto prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Bake until lightly browned, but still soft, about 20 minutes for larger cookies and about 15 minutes for smaller cookies. If you use a rounded tablespoon, check your cookies at 12 minutes. Cool slightly on baking sheets before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
4
If you use a very generously rounded tablespoon or a 1 scoop, you'll get about 4 dozen cookies.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
