Description

Ingredients

• 1½ tsp Morton Kosher salt
• ¾ cup + 2 TBS sugar
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 1 TBS molasses
• 8 oz (1/2 cup, or 1 stick) butter, cut into cubes
• 1 cup all purpose flor
• 1¼ cup pastry flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp chocolate extract (optional - I left it out)
• 2 large eggs
• 2½ cups chocolate chips
• Sugar in the raw
• Morton Coarse Sea Salt
• Orange Zest

Directions

• In a stand mixer cream together the salt, both sugars, butter, and molasses.
• Cream on high until the butter is light and fluffy, scraping down the bowl frequently.
• Add the eggs one at a time on medium speed.
• Add the extracts.
• Sift together the flours and baking soda, add on low speed. Mix until just incorporated.
• Add the chocolate chips.
• Heat oven to 300F.
• Place dough in large balls on a baking pan with plenty of room for them to spread. (Instead of 12 cookies on a sheet I did 6, the dough balls were about twice as big as normal)
• Flatten to ½”
• Bake for 15-17 minutes until the edges start to turn golden.**
• Allow to cool for about 2 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to let cool completely.
