Preheat. Begin by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with either parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Weigh. Measure and weigh all ingredients before baking. I can't stress how important it is to use a kitchen scale when baking with einkorn — it's a cheap investment that makes all the difference in your results!
Cream. Combine your room-temperature butter and sugars with a hand-held mixer until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes. Pause occasionally to scrape down the sides of your bowl. This step is crucial. Check your microwave settings to soften butter. Although allowing your butter to come to true room temp will give you best results with the integrity of your cookie.
Combine. Incorporate the eggs and vanilla extract into your creamed butter mixture, mixing until thoroughly combined. Fast way to bring eggs to room temp: place eggs in a small bowl with warm water for 3 minutes.
Whisk. In a separate large bowl, combine your dry ingredients by whisking together the flour, cornstarch, salt, baking soda, and baking powder until well mixed.
Mix. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into your wet mixture in three separate additions. Mix until you no longer see any dry flour, then gently fold in your chopped chocolate until evenly distributed. Want to bake the next day? Wrap in parchment and refrigerate. Bake the following day if you don't want to bake the same day.
Rest. Allow the dough to rest at least 20 minutes before baking.
Scoop. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion 1½ tablespoons of dough into a ball. Place onto your prepared baking sheet, spacing each ball about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading. A large cookie sheet fits about 12 dough balls.
Bake. Place the cookies in your preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges turn a light golden brown and the centers appear set but still soft.
Cool. Allow the cookies to cool briefly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire cooling rack. Finish with a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt while still slightly warm.
