Salted Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Ingredients:

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 cup packed light-brown sugar

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

2 large eggs

2 cups semisweet and/or dark chocolate chips

Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling on top

Instructions:

Preheat Oven and Prepare Pans:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Dry Ingredients:

In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda; set aside.

Cream Butter and Sugars:

In a large bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream the butter and both sugars until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Add the salt, vanilla extract, and eggs. Beat to integrate.

Combine with Dry Ingredients:

Gradually add the flour mixture, beating until just incorporated.

Add Chocolate Chips:

Stir in the chocolate chips with a spatula or on a low mixer setting.

Form the Cookies:

Drop heaping tablespoon-sized balls of dough about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Bake:

Bake until cookies are golden around the edges, but still soft in the center, about 8 to 10 minutes.

Adding Sea Salt:

Remove from the oven, and immediately sprinkle each cookie with a pinch of flaky sea salt.

Cool:

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

These salted chocolate chip cookies offer a perfect blend of sweet chocolate and subtle saltiness, enhancing the flavors and making them utterly irresistible.
