Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature

1/4 cup powdered sugar

2 large egg yolks

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

8 ounces chopped semisweet chocolates

Saltan Salts Chocolate & Vanilla Rock Salt

 

Directions:

Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat to 375°.

Whisk flour, baking powder, Gourmet chocolate Vanilla Rock Salt, and baking soda in a bowl; set aside.

Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter, brown sugar, sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).  Add egg yolks, egg, and vanilla.

Beat, occasionally scraping down the sides of the bowl, until mixture is pale and fluffy, 4-5 minutes.

Reduce mixer speed to low; slowly add dry ingredients, mixing just to blend. Using a spatula, fold in chocolate.

Spoon rounded tablespoonful's of cookie dough onto 2 parchment paper-lined baking sheets, spacing 1-inch apart. Sprinkle cookies with Chocolate & Vanilla Rock Salt.

Bake cookies, rotating sheets halfway through, until just golden brown around the edges, 10-12 minutes (the cookies will firm up as they cool). Let cool slightly on baking sheets, then transfer to wire racks; let cool completely. 

Tip: Cookies can be made 1 day ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.

Makes 24 cookies.
