- 0.5 pound unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
- 1 extra-large egg, at room temperature
- 1.5 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped, such as Lindt
- Fleur de sel or sea salt, for sprinkling
- ice cream
- chocolate

## Instructions

1. Beat the butter on medium speed for 3 minutes, until creamy.
2. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar and beat on medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes, until light and fluffy.
3. Add the egg, vanilla, and 2 tablespoons of warm water and mix on low speed just to combine.
4. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and kosher salt in a medium bowl.
5. Slowly add the flour mixture, then the chocolate to the batter until combined.
6. Make 12 rounded scoops of dough and place them on a sheet pan.
7. Freeze the dough for exactly 15 minutes, then arrange 4 balls of dough—spaced wide apart—on each of three sheet pans lined with parchment paper.
8. Bake for 10 minutes, until the cookies are slightly puffed in the center.
9. Remove the pans from the oven and bang them on the stove top, until the center of the cookies deflate.
10. Bake for 3 minutes, then bang the pans again, repeating baking and banging every 3 minutes, for 18 to 20 minutes total, until the edges of the cookies are golden brown.
11. Sprinkle the cookies with fleur de sel and cool completely on the pans.
12. Make ice cream sandwiches with cookies, ice cream, chocolate and raspberries.
