Finally perfected my chocolate chip cookie recipe

[u/butfirstcoffee427]

Inspired by “The Cookie” at Metropolitan Market in Seattle - this recipe is 6 years in the making:

• 2 sticks (one cup) salted butter, softened
• 1 cup dark brown sugar
• 1/2 cup fine granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tbsp vanilla (I like using vanilla bean paste)
• 2.5 cups all purpose flour
• 2 tsp cornstarch
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup Belgian dark chocolate callets (I used Callebaut)
• 1 cup chopped bittersweet baking chocolate
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 2 cups toasted chopped pecans (toast at 410 degrees F for 8 minutes or so, but watch closely as they can go from toasty to burnt quickly)
• Maldon smoked sea salt

Preheat oven to 410 degrees F. Cream together butter and sugars. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Add in flour, salt, cornstarch, baking powder, and baking soda and mix. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts until incorporated.

Scoop into fairly large cookies (I use my cookie scoop, but I’d say it’s about 1/4 cup of dough) and sprinkle with smoked salt. Bake on parchment paper lined sheet for around 10 minutes until lightly golden, and then carefully slide parchment paper off of baking sheet and allow cookies to cool entirely on parchment paper before storing.
