Ingredients
- 225 g salted butter at room temperature
- 1 ¼ cups brown sugar
- 2 eggs at room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 cups plain flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt + more for sprinkling
- 250 g mini dark chocolate chips
- Sea salt for sprinkling optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Place a rack in the center of the oven. Line a 9”x13” baking tray with parchment paper.
- Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt together. Set aside.
- Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
- Add one egg and mix for 1 minute. Add the second egg and mix for another minute.
- Add vanilla extract and cream for an additional 30 seconds.
- Gently fold the sifted dry ingredients into the mixture in two batches using a spatula.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the baking tray using two teaspoons, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 4 minutes, then turn off the oven. Allow cookies to continue baking in the residual heat for 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking tray for 10-15 minutes until the edges are crispy and the centers are chewy.
- Optional: Sprinkle sea salt on top before baking for extra flavor.
- Enjoy the cookies!
Notes
- The sea salt enhances the flavor of the chocolate, making each bite even more delicious.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking tray to achieve a crispy edge and chewy center.
- For a slightly different flavor, try using dark brown sugar instead of light.
