Chocolate Chip Cookies with Sea Salt
Chunky chocolate chip cookies with a sea salt bite!
Servings 20 cookies
Ingredients
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon sea salt or kosher salt (plus more for sprinkling cookies)
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup butter, room temp
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla paste or extract
- 1 bag dark or milk chocolate chips (I use Guittard 60% cocao)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees and place oven rack in center position. Place parchment paper on cooking sheet, set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt.
- Use a mixer to blend together brown sugar, granulated sugar, and butter. When smooth, add eggs one at a time, add vanilla, mix well.
- Add flour mixture a bit at a time and mix until well incorporated. Fold in chocolate chips by hand.
- Use an ice cream scoop to spoon cookie dough onto cooking sheet. These are fairly big cookies, make sure you leave enough room between cookies. I usually bake three rows of three per batch. Sprinkle the top each cookie with sea salt.
- Bake for 11-12 minutes.
Notes
Pro tip- If your cookies often fall flat during baking, put the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before baking. This gives the butter a chance to get firm again.
