CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES WITH BLACK SESAME AND SEAWEED
This complex and earthy cookie comes from Zoe Kanan, the pastry chef at Simon & the Whale restaurant in New York, and proves the notion that ingenuity is often born of necessity. While working in Hong Kong on a collaborative dinner with Yardbird restaurant, Ms. Kazan found herself with a glut of specialty ingredients at her disposal. Inspired by the experimental flavor combinations for which her mentor, Christina Tosi, is known, Ms. Kanan added black sesame paste, seaweed and sesame seeds to a tahini chocolate chip cookie recipe she'd been developing. Deeply chocolatey and extremely savory, the result -this cookie, created for the 2019 NYT Food Festival - is perplexing at first bite and addictive after that.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose and rye flours, baking powder, baking soda and sea salt; set aside.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat both sugars together on medium speed to blend. Add butter and beat on medium until beginning to lighten and starting to become creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Add the eggs and egg yolk one at a time to the butter mixture, beating until incorporated, then add the black sesame paste and vanilla, and blend just until combined.
- Add the flour mixture all at once, and use a sturdy rubber spatula to fold it into the butter mixture until about halfway combined, and the mixture goes from a shaggy mess to a semi-combined dough. Scatter the chocolate and seaweed on top and fold just until dough forms. (A gentle touch is necessary, as overmixing can cause the dough to separate and crumble.)
- Add the black sesame seeds to a shallow bowl. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, portion the dough into about 22 balls (60 grams each). Working with one portion of dough at a time, roll it between your palms until rounded, then gently roll it into the sesame seeds until coated all over. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet and transfer to the refrigerator to chill at least 4 hours. (You can prepare the dough balls up to one week in advance; transfer to a lidded container or loosely cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate.)
- When ready to bake, heat the oven to 400 degrees. Arrange the cookies a few inches apart on a large baking sheet and bake until they have spread out slightly but are still puffed in the center, about 12 minutes. Once you've removed the baking sheet from the oven, gently tap the center of each cookie down using the bottom of a ladle, pressing just until you've created a slightly indented crater. (This technique helps ensure a gooey and chewy center.)
- Allow the cookies to cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Store, covered, at room temperature, up to 2 days.
THE BEST CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES RECIPE BY TASTY
There are a few secrets to the best classic, chewy chocolate chip cookies. Number one: Don't use chips; instead, opt for a mix of milk or semisweet and dark chocolate chunks. The second is to let the dough rest overnight or longer for a more complex, toffee-like flavor. Lastly, use an ice cream scooper to get even-sized cookies every time. And that's it! With these little tweaks, the result is a cookie that's textured on the outside, and soft and gooey on the inside. Absolutely perfect!

Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sugars, salt, and butter until a paste forms with no lumps.
- Whisk in the egg and vanilla, beating until light ribbons fall off the whisk and remain for a short while before falling back into the mixture.
- Sift in the flour and baking soda, then fold the mixture with a spatula (Be careful not to overmix, which would cause the gluten in the flour to toughen resulting in cakier cookies).
- Fold in the chocolate chunks, then chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. For a more intense toffee-like flavor and deeper color, chill the dough overnight. The longer the dough rests, the more complex its flavor will be.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop the dough with an ice-cream scoop onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, leaving at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space between cookies and 2 inches (5 cm) of space from the edges of the pan so that the cookies can spread evenly.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges have started to barely brown.
- Cool completely before serving.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Cookies:
- Whisk baking powder, salt, and 3 cups cake flour in a small bowl to combine. Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat butter and sugar in a medium bowl until well combined (butter does not need to be fluffy), about 3 minutes. Add egg and egg yolk and beat just to combine. Reduce speed to low and gradually mix in dry ingredients. Divide dough in half and form into 3/4"-thick disks. Wrap in plastic and chill until firm, about 2 hours.
- Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat to 325°F. Let 1 disk of dough sit at room temperature until slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
- Roll out dough on a lightly floured sheet of parchment paper, shifting often on sheet and dusting with more flour as needed to keep from sticking, until about 1/4" thick. Punch out rounds with cookie cutter and transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing 1 1/2" apart. Pat scraps into a 3/4"-thick disk. Chill 15 minutes.
- Bake cookies, rotating baking sheets halfway through, until edges are golden brown, 12-15 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire racks and let cool. Cut out and bake scraps, then repeat process with remaining disk of dough.
- Do Ahead
- Dough can be made 1 month ahead; freeze. Cookies can be baked 2 weeks ahead; wrap tightly and freeze. Thaw before decorating. Frosting and Assembly Toss black sesame seeds and oil in a medium shallow bowl to coat seeds (this will keep them jet-black and shiny). Place white sesame seeds in another medium shallow bowl.
- Frosting and assembly:
- Whisk powdered sugar, lemon juice, salt, and 1/3 cup water in a large bowl until smooth. Place half of the icing in a pastry bag fitted with a 1/8" tip. (Or use a large resealable plastic bag and cut a small opening in 1 corner.)
- Working with 1 cookie at a time, pipe down center and then around the edge of half of the cookie to create a semicircle. Pipe icing inside border to fill, then use a small offset spatula to evenly spread over half of the cookie. Working quickly so icing is still wet, dip frosted part of cookie into white sesame seeds, patting gently to adhere, then letting excess fall back into bowl. Let sit 15 minutes for icing to set.
- Repeat process on the other half of the cookie, dipping into black sesame seeds, and let sit at least 20 minutes before serving
- Do Ahead
- Cookies can be frosted and decorated 1 day ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
SEEDED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
When I make chocolate-chip cookies, I always use a recipe from the pastry chef Sherry Yard, with whom I wrote two cookbooks, as my touchstone. It doesn't matter whether or not I'm adding ingredients like nuts and seeds, or using different types of flours. I always use a quality dark chocolate (70 percent or higher), and I cut it into chunks the way she does. I don't skimp on quantity when it comes to the chocolate, but in this adaptation I've reduced the sugar by 25 percent and thrown in a good measure of rolled oats, sunflower seeds, chia seeds and pumpkin seeds. I've made these cookies using half whole-wheat flour and using all unbleached all-purpose flour, and I prefer the whole-wheat version - and not just because it's healthier. I love the nutty flavor of the flour, which complements the nutty flavor of the seeds. You would think that adding wholesome ingredients like oats and seeds to a classic chocolate-chip cookie would result in something weighty, vintage 1970s, but on the contrary, the oats and seeds stretch the dough and make the cookies lighter than all-flour cookies. Bake them until they're nice and dark on the bottom, and when you rotate the trays halfway through, tap them on the oven racks to get the cookies to flatten a bit. The end result is a crisp cookie with no shortage of melting chocolate chunks.

Steps:
- Sift together flours and baking soda and set aside. In bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter until lemony yellow, about 2 minutes. Scrape down sides of the bowl and paddle. Add organic sugar, brown sugar and salt. Continue creaming mixture on medium speed until it is lump free, about 1 minute. Stop mixer and scrape down sides of the bowl and the paddle.
- Add egg and vanilla and beat on low speed for 15 seconds, or until they are fully incorporated. Do not overbeat. Scrape down sides of the bowl and paddle.
- On low speed, add sifted flour mixture. Beat slowly until all of the flour is incorporated. Scrape down sides of bowl. Add seeds, oats and chocolate chunks and mix in.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees with racks adjusted to the lower third and middle of the oven. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Spoon dough by heaped teaspoons (or use a 1-inch scoop) 2 inches apart onto prepared baking sheets.
- Bake 14 to 15 minutes, until lightly browned, rotating baking sheets from top to bottom and from front to back halfway through the baking. Remove from oven and slide parchment off the baking sheet and onto a work surface. Allow cookies to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving, or for at least 20 minutes before storing in an airtight container. Cookies will keep for three days at room temperature.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the cookies will be. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of 70% or higher.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies keep their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- Bake the cookies at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help them develop a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
- Let the cookies cool completely before enjoying them. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cookies to firm up.
Conclusion:
These chocolate chip cookies with black sesame and seaweed are a unique and delicious twist on a classic recipe.
