SALTED CHOCOLATE CHUNK SHORTBREAD COOKIES
These wildly popular cookies were developed by Alison Roman for her cookbook, "Dining In: Highly Cookable Recipes." "I've always found chocolate chip cookies to be deeply flawed (to know this about me explains a lot)," she writes. "Too sweet, too soft, or with too much chocolate, there's a lot of room for improvement, if you ask me. But no one asked me, and rather than do a complete overhaul on the most iconic cookie known to man, I took all my favorite parts and invented something else entirely. Made with lots of salted butter (it has a slightly different flavor and a deeper saltiness than using just salt - I prefer unsalted butter everywhere else but here), the dough has just enough flour to hold it together and the right amount of light brown sugar to suggest a chocolate chip cookie."

Steps:
- Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or an electric hand mixer, beat the butter, both sugars and vanilla on medium-high till it's super light and fluffy (3 to 5 minutes for a stand mixer; 6 to 8 for a hand mixer). Using a spatula, scrape down the sides of the bowl and, with the mixer on low, slowly add the flour, followed by the chocolate chunks, and mix just to blend. If necessary, knead the dough with your hands to make sure the flour is totally incorporated. At this point, the dough should be smooth and feel like Play-Doh with no pockets of flour.
- Divide the dough in half, placing each half on a large piece of plastic wrap. Fold the plastic over so that it covers the dough to protect your hands from getting all sticky. Using your hands, form the dough into a log shape; rolling it on the counter will help you smooth it out, but don't worry about getting it totally perfect. (Don't be afraid to make them compact. Shortbread is supposed to be dense. That's part of why it's so good.) You can also do this using parchment paper, if you prefer, but plastic wrap is easier when it comes to shaping the log. Each half should form a 6-inch log, 2 to 2¼ inches in diameter. Chill until totally firm, about 2 hours.
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Brush the outside of the logs with the beaten egg and roll them in the demerara sugar (this is for those really delicious, crisp edges).
- Using a serrated knife, carefully slice each log into ½-inch-thick rounds (if you hit a chocolate chunk, slowly saw back and forth through the chocolate). If the cookies break or fall apart, just press them back together - the dough is very forgiving. Place them on the prepared baking sheets about 1 inch apart (they won't spread much). Sprinkle with flaky salt. Bake until the edges are just beginning to brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool slightly before eating them all.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 360°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars together with an electric mixer until very light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- Add egg and vanilla, beating until incorporated, and scraping down the bowl as needed.
- Beat in salt fine sea or table salt and baking soda until combined, then the flour on a low speed until just mixed.
- The dough will look crumbly at this point. With a spatula, fold/stir in the chocolate chunks.
- Scoop cookies into 1 1/2 tablespoon (I used a #40 scoop) mounds, spacing them apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Sprinkle each with a few flakes of sea salt. Bake for 11 to 12 minutes, until golden on the outside but still very gooey and soft inside.
- Out of the oven, let rest on baking sheet out of the for 5 minutes before transferring a cooling rack.
- Extra dough - I know, what's that?! - can be formed into scoops and frozen on a sheet until solid, then transferred to a freezer bag. I've baked these right from the freezer; they need, at most, 1 minute more baking time.
- You could also form them into a 2-inch log, freeze it, and slice and bake the cookies off as desired. The only difference I've noted between the cookies baked right away and those baked a day or more later is that the older cookie dough is less puffy when baked.
