File->New->Project 

Select Application -> Cocoa Application

On the following sheets is a checkbox for 'create document-based application'. 
Check that.

document capabilities to a standard cocoa GUI app if you want (and looking at 
the generated code from the template shows you pretty much what you have to 
do).
