Ingredients

2 cups minus 2 tablespoons cake flour
1 ⅔ cups bread flour
1 ¼ teaspoons baking soda
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons coarse salt
2 ½ sticks unsalted butter
1 ¼ cups light brown sugar
1 cup plus 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons natural vanilla extract
1 ¼ pounds bittersweet chocolate, at least 60% cacao content
sea salt

Instructions

Sift together the flours, baking soda, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Set aside.
Using a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream butter and sugars together until very light, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla. Reduce speed to low, add dry ingredients and mix until just combined, 5 to 10 seconds.
Drop chocolate pieces in and incorporate them by hand without breaking them. Press plastic wrap against dough and refrigerate for 24 to 36 hours. Dough may be used in batches, and can be refrigerated for up to 72 hours.
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350° (176°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat. Set aside.
Scoop six 3 ½-ounce mounds of dough (the size of generous golf balls) onto baking sheet, making sure to turn horizontally any chocolate pieces that are poking up; it will make for a more attractive cookie. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt and bake until golden brown but still soft, 18 to 20 minutes.
Transfer sheet to a wire rack for 10 minutes, then slip cookies onto another rack to cool a bit more. Repeat with remaining dough, or reserve dough, refrigerated, for baking remaining batches the next day. Eat the New York Times Chocolate Chip Cookies warm, with a big napkin.
