Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of sea salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Main Add-ins

  • 1 1/2 cups high-quality chocolate chunks or chips
  • Sea salt (for sprinkling on top)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Begin by creaming together the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is fluffy and smooth, forming a perfect creamy base for the cookies. Then whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract until fully incorporated and the batter is uniform.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and a pinch of sea salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, folding gently to form a thick, consistent dough without any streaks of flour.
  3. Stir in Chocolate: Fold in the high-quality chocolate chunks or chips evenly throughout the dough, ensuring each cookie will have the perfect balance of melted chocolate.
  4. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour. This step helps deepen the flavors and firms up the dough, making it easier to shape and preventing excessive spreading during baking.
  5. Shape and Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Using rounded tablespoons, scoop dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and space them a few inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers still look slightly soft.
  6. Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet to set, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Sprinkle with a light pinch of sea salt while still warm to enhance the flavors.

Notes

  • Chill is key: Refrigerating the dough enhances flavor and prevents cookies from spreading too much.
  • Use quality chocolate: Choose chocolate with at least 60% cocoa for a richer taste.
  • Don’t overbake: Remove cookies when edges are golden and centers look slightly underdone; they firm up while cooling.
  • Add sea salt finishing touch: A sprinkle of salt on warm cookies beautifully balances sweetness.
  • Use parchment or silicone mats for even baking and easy removal.
