Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Cookies

Rich, chewy, & decadent – these dark chocolate sea salt cookies are next level! This is the perfect chocolate chip cookie with a little extra magic.

While I do consider myself a sugar cookie master, perfecting the chocolate chip cookie has been a bit more of a challenge. I’ve played around with this recipe a lot to get the perfect balance of sweet and salty, and chewy with a slightly crispy edge. The result is a delicious marriage of of rich dark chocolate, sweet brown sugar and vanilla, and a sprinkle of salt to finish it off. Pairs well with coffee!

Cooking time

Ingredients

  • -1 cup butter

  • -3/4 cup granulated sugar

  • -3/4 cup brown sugar

  • -1 egg

  • -1 tbsp vanilla extract

  • -1 tsp baking soda

  • -1 tsp cornstarch

  • -1/2 tsp salt

  • -2 1/4 cups flour

  • -1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, plus a few extra for topping!

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Cream together butter with sugars.
  • Add egg & vanilla, mix until combined.
  • Mix your dry ingredients together in a separate bowl and add them into your butter and sugar mixture. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix! Overmixing can cause cookies to become dense and flat when baking.
  • Fold in your chocolate chips.
  • Scoop onto your cookie sheet. I like to add a few extra chocolate chips to the top! It makes them look pretty after baking. Bake for 7-8 minutes. These cookies will look under-baked when you first pull them out of the oven – trust the process! They will continue to cook a little and set as they rest on the pan.
  • Allow them to rest for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack.
