Ingredients:
- 1.75 cups (210g) White Whole Wheat Flour
- 0.5 tsp Baking Soda
- 0.5 tsp Sea Salt
- 0.5 cup (113g) Grass-fed Unsalted Butter, softened
- 0.5 cup (100g) Coconut Sugar or Dark Brown Sugar
- 1 large Egg, room temperature
- 1.5 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup (170g) 70% Dark Chocolate Chips
Instructions:
- Creaming for Aeration: Beat the softened butter and coconut sugar together in a stand mixer on medium-high speed for 3-4 minutes until the texture is pale and slightly fluffy.
- Incorporating Emulsifiers: Add the egg and vanilla extract. Continue mixing until the batter achieves a glossy consistency and forms thick ribbons.
- Folding Dry Components: Gently stir in the white whole wheat flour, baking soda, sea salt, and dark chocolate chips. Mix only until the last streak of flour disappears to prevent overdeveloping gluten.
- Cold-Cure Phase: Scoop the dough into rounded tablespoons and place on a tray. Cover and refrigerate for at least 12 hours to hydrate the flour and concentrate flavors.
- Baking: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Space the chilled dough balls on lined baking sheets and bake for 10 minutes or until edges are mahogany-colored and centers are set.
