New Favorite! Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is my new favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe!  Chewy, gooey perfection! 

3 1/2 c all-purpose flour  ( 17 oz on a food scale)
1 1/4 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp kosher or coarse salt
1 1/4 c. (2 1/2 sticks)  unsalted butter
1 1/4 c. brown sugar (10 oz)
1 c. granulated sugar (8 oz)
2 lg eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
8 oz. semi sweet chocolate chunks
4 oz. dark chocolate chips
4 oz. milk chocolate chips
2 oz. unsweetened chocolate, grated



1. Stir flour, baking soda, baking powder,  and salt in a bowl. Set aside.

2. Using a mixer with paddle attachment, cream butter and sugars together until very light, about 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, and mix to combine.  Stir in the vanilla.

3. Reduce speed to low and add dry ingredients, mixing just until combined, 5-10 seconds.  Stir in all the chocolate chips and grated chocolate.  Cover dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.  ( up to 72 hours ).  OR scoop 1/4 c. balls onto parchment paper on a baking sheet and freeze for 2-3 hours; then place frozen scoops into a freezer ziploc bag and store in freezer to bake as needed.

4.  When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat.

5.  Scoop dough out into balls (about 3- 4 T.) and place on cookie sheet. Sprinkle with sea salt, if desired.   Bake for 12 minutes. ( if starting with frozen dough, bake for 14-15 min)  Remove from oven and let cookies cool on pan for about 5 minutes, then move to wire rack.
