Oxaca Chocolate Sandwiches are inspired by the flavors from Oxaca, Mexico, where chocolate is grown and is part of the city’s reputation for moles. Ozxaca cacao beans are often ground and combined with sugar, almonds, and cinnamon to mix with milk for a delicious hot chocolate.
Combine flours, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a bowl with a whisk and set aside. Cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy (3-5 min) and then add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each. Mix in vanilla. Scrape down sides, reduce to low, and add dry ingredients. Mix until just combined and then add chocolate chips and chunks and mix again. Wrap dough in plastic and chill. Scoop mixture into balls, sprinkle with sea salt, and bake 15-20 min at 350. Chef Note: This recipe works best if it can be chilled for a few hours first, along with having all ingredients at room temperature before beginning.
