Melt 2 sticks unsalted butter in a small heavy pan to prevent burning.
Sift together 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons bread flour,
1 teaspoon kosher salt,
and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
Mix 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
and 1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon dark (unsulphured) molasses. Incorporate until there are no large lumps. Pour in melted butter. Cream altogether on medium speed for 3 minutes. Add 1 large egg plus 1 yolk, and 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Slowly mix in the flour mixture.
Then stir in 2 cups chocolate chips. I stirred in dark chocolate, first, then semi-sweet, then…
Bake on parchment paper on cookie sheet or bar pan in a 350 degree oven for 8-10 minutes, just under-baking. Slightly cool on a rack for 2 minutes, then remove parchment paper of cookies onto the rack. These will set up more, being just right in texture.
