Instruction:

In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla on medium-high speed until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2 to 3 minutes). Pour the melted chocolate into the butter mixture and mix on low speed to combine.

Add the flour and salt to the mixer and mix on low speed until fully combined. Add the nibs and mix on low speed until the nibs are evenly incorporated into the dough.

Divide the dough in half (about 390 g) and roll each ball of dough into a 6-inch long log. Roll each log tightly in parchment paper and chill in the freezer or refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Removed the dough logs from the refrigerator about half an hour before baking. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unroll the dough from the parchment paper and score, then slice the dough into ½-inch thick rounds. Place the cookies on the baking sheet spacing them at least 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 minutes, rotating halfway through to ensure even coloring. 5, rotate, 5.

Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
