Ingredients

4 cups (540 grams) all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons kosher salt 

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 

1 cup (2 sticks; 226 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature 

2 cups (400 grams) light brown sugar 

2 large eggs, at room temperature 

2 teaspoons vanilla extract 

2 cups (333 grams) semisweet chocolate chips 

1 cup (167 grams) dark chocolate chips 

Flakey salt, for sprinkling 

Vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, rainbow sprinkles and maraschino cherries, for topping 

Directions

Special equipment:
a 1/2-cup ice cream scoop
  1. Place an oven rack in the middle position and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and baking powder until combined. Set aside.
  3. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and brown sugar until just combined, scraping down the bottom and sides as needed. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and beat to incorporate. Add the flour mixture and mix slowly until just barely combined. Mix in the chocolate chips. Scoop out a slightly-heaping, 1/2-cup scoop of dough and place on a prepared baking sheet. Lightly press the dough to flatten into the shape of a hockey puck. Repeat with the remaining dough, placing 6 cookies on each baking sheet and making sure to evenly space apart. Sprinkle the tops with flakey salt. At this point, you can bake or freeze.
  4. Bake the cookies until golden brown around the edges and lightly browned on top, 15 to 20 minutes. (If baking from frozen, begin checking at 20 minutes.)
  5. While still warm, put a cookie in a bowl. Top with a scoop of ice cream, hot fudge, sprinkles and a cherry.

These are the best cookies I've ever eaten. I used a 1/4 cup measure, plopped them out onto the parchment, baked for 10-11 minutes. Perfect. I use King Arthur's White Whole Wheat flour for most of my baking and these are delicious using that flour. I usually like to refrigerate my cookie dough overnight before baking, but don't do that with this recipe, it's better when baked right away. Delicious.
