There is nothing quite like a warm chocolate cookie straight from the oven. These are extra special because they use two types of chocolate to get that deep flavor, and the little pinch of sea salt on top makes everything taste better.

My grandkids always ask for these when they visit. Just make sure you do not overbake them, as you want the centers to stay soft and slightly fudgy.

๐Ÿงบ Ingredients

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
  • Flaky sea salt for sprinkling

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐ŸณInstructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

  3. 3

    In a separate large bowl, cream the butter and both sugars together until the mixture is light and fluffy.

  4. 4

    Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

  5. 5

    Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a dough forms, then fold in the chocolate chips.

  6. 6

    Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto your prepared baking sheet.

  7. 7

    Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.

  8. 8

    Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle a little bit of sea salt over the tops while they are still warm.

๐Ÿ’ก Tips

Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days to keep them soft. If you want to make them ahead of time, you can freeze the scoops of dough and bake them directly from frozen by adding a minute or two to the total bake time.
