1 cup cake flour
3/4 cup bread flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1 1/4 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
10 ounces semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips (I used what I had at the time )
fleur de sel
Mix first five ingredients in a medium bowl and set aside. In a mixer, cream butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar and vanilla together until creamy, about 5 minutes. Add egg and mix, then add dry ingredients and mix on low speed just until everything is well incorporated. Add chocolate chips and mix by hand to distribute. Form the dough into a compact ball in the bowl, and press plastic wrap directly against the dough. Refrigerate dough for at least 24 hours, up to 48 hours.
To bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop out dough and form into balls that are approximately 1 3/4-2 inches in diameter. This is the size I found to be ideal. Place on prepared baking sheet about 3 inches apart. Sprinkle each with a pinch of fleur de sel, and bake until golden brown; about 15-17 minutes, depending on how soft you want the center of your cookies. Cool baking sheet on a wire rack, then transfer cookies to the rack to cool completely. (Or eat them right away!) This recipe will make about 18-20 cookies that are 3-3 1/2 inch in diameter.
