Ingredients

1 cup softened butter 230 grams
⅔ cup sugar 113 grams
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 ¾ cup freshly milled soft white wheat flour finely milled (316 grams)
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup chocolate chunks or chips 82 grams

Instructions

In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter, sugar, and vanilla until well combined.
Add the flour and salt and mix.
Add the chocolate and combine.
Scoop the dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap and shape into a log. Keep in mind that the shape of your log will also be the shape of your cookies.
Wrap tightly in the plastic, then place in the fridge to chill until hardened or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Remove the log from the fridge and cut into about 24 even slices. You will need a pretty sharp knife to cut through the chocolate chunks.
Place on the baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, until the edges start browning.
