My All Time Favorite Cookie Recipe (Square Culinary Team's Cookies)

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
3. In a separate bowl, beat together the slightly softened butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar for 2-3 minutes.
4. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract, then scrape down the bowl.
5. Gradually add the sifted flour mixture to the butter mixture, and beat until well blended.
6. Roughly chop the dark chocolate and then add it to the cookie dough, stirring to combine.
7. With a heaping 2 oz. scoop, drop cookies onto parchment paper or a pan sprayed with nonstick spray, ensuring they are about 3 inches apart.
8. Top each cookie dough ball with a pinch of Maldon sea salt.
9. Bake cookies for 12-14 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
