Ingredients
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- sea salt, to taste
- milk, for serving
Directions
Step 1 –In a large bowl, whisk together the kosher salt, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and butter, until a paste with no lumps forms.
Step 2 –Whisk in the vanilla and egg, beating until light ribbons fall off of the whisk and remain shortly before dissolving back into the mixture.
Step 3 –Sift in the baking soda and flour, then fold with a spatula to combine, being cautious to not over-mix.
Step 4 –Fold in the chocolate chips.
Step 5 –Chill the dough for 30 minutes, or overnight if a richer flavor is desired.
Step 6 –Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 7 –Then, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 8 –Scoop the dough up with an ice-cream scoop onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving 4 inches of space between the cookies and 2 inches of space from the edges of the pan.
Step 9 –Bake until the edges have started to slightly brown, for 12-15 minutes.
Step 10 –Top each cookie with a sprinkle of salt, to taste, once they come out of the oven.
Step 11 –Let the cookies fully cool before serving with a glass of milk.
