Cookie Ingredients | |
|---|---|

| 1⁄2 | cup granulated sugar |
| 1⁄4 | cup light brown sugar |

Instructions
Baking Instructions | |
|---|---|
| 1. | Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and line 2 large sheet pans with parchment paper. |
| 2. | In a mixing bowl, cream together room temperature unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar for 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Continue beating for another minute and scrape the bowl again. |
| 3. | Add vanilla extract and beat for 1 minute. Scrape the sides of the bowl. |
| 4. | Mix in large egg yolks and beat for 1 minute. Scrape the sides of the bowl. |
| 5. | Add all-purpose unbleached flour, sea salt, and baking soda. Beat for 1 minute. Scrape the sides of the bowl and beat for an additional minute. |
| 6. | Create a well in the center of the dough and pour in the melted dark chocolate. Gently fold the dough with a spatula or knife to achieve a marbled look. Avoid overmixing. |
| 7. | Place turbinado or coarse sugar in a small, shallow bowl. Using a small cookie or ice cream scoop, dipped in hot tap water, form balls of dough and coat them in the sugar. Place the dough balls on the parchment-lined pans with space in between. |
| 8. | Avoid flattening the dough balls. This will help maintain a chewy texture. |
| 9. | Bake for 8 - 10 minutes, rotating and switching the pans halfway through baking. Do not overbake to keep the cookies chewy. |
| 10. | Cool the cookies on racks and store in airtight containers once cooled. |
