Instructions
Preheat the oven
Preheat the oven to 175°C and arrange three racks evenly spaced in the oven.
Cream the butter
In a mixing bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy, about 3 minutes.
Add sugars
Add granulated and brown sugar, and continue beating until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes.
Add egg and vanilla
Scrape down sides of bowl with a rubber spatula, then add the egg, vanilla, and 2 tablespoons of warm water and mix until just combined on low speed.
Whisk dry ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Combine wet and dry ingredients
While mixing on low, slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, followed by the chocolate (including any fine chocolate dust) until just combined. Use a rubber spatula to mix well.
Scoop the dough
Scoop dough out onto a sheet pan, using a 2 1/4 inch ice cream scoop or 1/3 cup measuring cup. This yields 12 scoops.
Freeze the dough
Freeze dough for exactly 15 minutes, then place 4 balls of dough on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Repeat with remaining dough.
Bake the cookies
Bake 10 minutes, until cookies are slightly puffed in the center. Remove from oven and bang pan on the stovetop until center of cookies deflate. Return to oven for 3 minutes, then bang on stovetop again. Continue baking and banging every 3 minutes, until cookies have been in the oven for 18-20 minutes total and are golden brown around the edges. Rotate pans so cookies bake evenly.
Finish and cool
Sprinkle cookies with fleur de sel and let cool completely on the pans.
