Mix together the dry ingredients: bread flour, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt.

Smear cold butter in a bowl for about 15 seconds, not creaming it.

Add light brown sugar and granulated sugar to the butter and smear together without overmixing.

Crack 2 eggs into a bowl and add 10 g of vanilla extract, then mix into the butter and sugar mixture.

Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients until just combined, leaving some streaks of flour.

Add 45 g of bittersweet chocolate and 140 g of semisweet chocolate, mixing gently to avoid overmixing the dough.

Weigh out about 120 g per cookie and shape them, then place them in the freezer for about an hour.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Bake the cookies for about 19 minutes, rotating halfway through.

Let the cookies rest on the tray for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
