Ingredients
  

  • 8.5 ounces cake flour
  • 8.5 ounces bread flour
  • 1 and 1/4 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 and 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 and 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
  • 2 and 1/2 sticks unsalted butter softened
  • 10 ounces light brown sugar
  • 8 ounces granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 2 inch vanilla bean seeds scraped
  • 1 and 1/4 pounds good quality 60-66% cacao disks chopped
  • 1 and 1/2 cups of walnuts toasted
  • coarsely ground sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions
 

  • Sift cake flour, bread flour, baking soda, baking powder and kosher salt into a large bowl. Set aside.
  • Cream butter and sugars in the bowl of an electric mixture that's been fitted with a paddle attachment until light and whippy.
  • Add eggs one at a time and mix well until completely combined.
  • Stir in the beans from a 2 inch vanilla bean on low.
  • Add dry ingredients to the mixer and combine just until mixed well.
  • Stir chopped chocolate and walnuts in by hand
  • Place bowl covered with plastic wrap in fridge
  • After 48 hours, remove the bowl from the fridge. Dough will be extremely firm.
  • Measure and scoop 3.5 ounces of dough for each cookie
  • Place cookies on a cookie sheet lined with a Silpat or parchment paper. Make sure that they're spread apart so that they don't meld together while baking.
  • Sprinkle each one with coarsely ground sea salt and place in a 350 degree oven for 17.5 minutes. They should be golden brown and may appear to be slightly underdone.
  • Transfer the entire baking sheet to a cooling rack and allow them 10 minutes to cool before placing each individual cookie on another cooling rack for a few minutes more. Serve with milk or ice cream. Say Grace and enjoy!!
