Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups dark chocolate chips
- to taste flaky sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Mix in the vanilla extract and the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually incorporate this dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed.
- Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips.
- Using a rounded tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop mounds of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each.
- Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top of each cookie.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, until edges are golden and centers are slightly underbaked.
- Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For extra chewiness, consider chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking. Store in an airtight container; they can last up to a week at room temperature.
