Equipment

A conventional oven is used. When using a convection oven (with air fan) decrease the temperature with 30 °F / 20 °C

Ingredients

▢ 155 grams flour
▢ 30 grams Dutch unprocessed cocoa
▢ ½ teaspoon baking soda
▢ 140 grams butter unsalted, room temperature
▢ 65 grams light brown sugar
▢ 65 grams sugar
▢ ¼ teaspoon Fleur de Sel
▢ 1 teaspoon vanilla-extract
▢ 140 grams dark chocolate chopped into chips

Ingredients you need per step are listed below the step in Italic

Instructions

Mix the flour, cocoa, and baking soda with a fork.
With the mixer beat the butter for 2 minutes.
Add both sugars, salt, and vanilla-extract and mix again for 2 minutes.
Add the flour mixture and with a spatula mix slightly before turning on the mixer (it saves you to clean up the mess this way).
Turn the mixer on and mix until the flour is just incorporated.
Take the spatula again and mix the chocolate into the dough.
Half the dough and put each piece on its own plastic foil (about 20 cm longs).
Fold the foil lightly on the dough and start to roll forward and back until it forms a roll of about 1¼ inches (3 cm) diameter.
Make sure the foil is wrapped up tightly around the roll of dough and put it in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
Repeat this for the other piece of dough.
Preheat the oven to 320 degrees Fahrenheit (160 degrees Celsius).
Cover a baking plate with baking paper and get the roll out of the refrigerator.
Slice the roll into 1 cm thick pieces and put the cookies on the baking paper.
Make sure the spaces between the cookies are at least 3 cm (because if they are baked they will become bigger).
Put the baking plate in the oven for 6 minutes, turn the plate 180 degrees and bake for another 6 minutes.
Put the cookies on the cooling rack and repeat the process until the dough is finished.
Make sure to put the dough in the refrigerator between the baking.
When you put the cookies on the cooling rack they feel soft. That isn't a problem they will harden when cooling down.
Leave the cookies on the rack until they have been cooled down.

NOTES

You always want a batch of these cookies by hand, so make the dough and freeze it. You can freeze it for up to two months.
If you can't buy this quite a sensational salt called Fleur de Sel substitute it with ¼ teaspoon sea salt.
The dough is put in the refrigerator for 3 hours so it won't be sticky and will slice a lot easier.
