COOK TIME: 30 mins
PREP TIME: 20 mins
YIELDS: 16-18 cookies

Ingredients :

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar

• 3/4 cup lightly packed light brown sugar

• 2 large eggs, at room temperature

• 1½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

• 4 large dark chocolate sea salt bars, chopped

• flaky sea salt

Instructions:

• Preheat the oven to 350 F. 

• Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.

• In a stand mixer, cream the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar together until the mixture looks whipped. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on medium speed. Add the vanilla and mix for 1 minute more.

• In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking soda and salt together.

• With the mixer on low speed, add 1/3 of the dry mixture at a time to the wet ingredients. Mix until fully incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula and mix again. Mix in the chopped chocolate with the spatula,scraping the bottom of the bowl.

• Scoop out the cookies and space them on the tray. Cover the trays of unbaked cookies with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes before baking.

• Remove the cookies from the refrigerator and remove the plastic wrap. Top each cookie with a generous pinch of flaky salt.

• Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the cookies are just beginning to turn a light golden brown.

• Lets it on the cookie sheet for 2 to 3 minutes, then transfer cookies to a cooling rack.

Technical Notes :

• Chilling cookie dough before baking helps prevent cookies from spreading too much and makes them chewier and more flavorful.

• The colder the dough is when it goes into the oven, the less it will spread.
