intensely chocolate with a touch of sea salt

Ingredients:

3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cups coconut oil
1 1/2 cup light brown sugar

this cookie dough is so tasty, I have to fight my husband off with a spoon!

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Whisk together the first 4 (dry) ingredients, set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together the butter and coconut oil. Gradually add the light brown sugar and granulated sugar. Beat for about 1 minute. Add the eggs, one at a time until incorporated, then add the vanilla. Scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula and begin to add the dry ingredients in three separate additions. Don't overmix. Scrape the sides again and turn on mixer, about 15 more seconds. Mix in the chocolate chunks and chips until well disbursed. With a medium scoop/disher, (approximately 2 tablespoons), space 2 inches apart on a parchment or silicone-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle just a bit of sea salt over each cookie (a few flakes will do it!) Bake for about 11 to 13 minutes. Cool on the tray for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
