Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (226g) Unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 cup (200g) Dark brown sugar, packed
  • 0.5 cup (100g) Granulated white sugar
  • 1 large Egg, room temperature
  • 1 large Egg yolk, room temperature
  • 1 tbsp Vanilla bean paste or pure vanilla extract
  • 2.25 cups (280g) All-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp Baking soda
  • 0.75 tsp Sea salt
  • 2 cups (340g) Semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped high-quality bar chocolate
  • 1 tsp Flaky sea salt for finishing

Instructions:

  1. Whisk the fats. Combine 1 cup (226g) of melted and slightly cooled unsalted butter with 1 cup (200g) of dark brown sugar and 0.5 cup (100g) of granulated white sugar. Note: Whisk for 2 minutes until it looks like wet sand and no oil is visible.
  2. Emulsify the eggs. Add 1 large egg, 1 large egg yolk, and 1 tbsp vanilla bean paste. Note: Whisk vigorously until the batter is glossy and lightened.
  3. Prepare dry base. Sift 2.25 cups (280g) all purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, and 0.75 tsp sea salt directly into the wet mixture.
  4. Fold the dough. Use a spatula to gently fold the flour into the butter mixture until just a few white streaks remain. Note: Over mixing here will make the cookies tough.
  5. Add the chips. Fold in 2 cups (340g) of semi sweet chocolate chips. Note: Reserve a handful to press into the tops for a professional look.
  6. Portion the dough. Scoop rounded tablespoons onto parchment lined sheets, leaving 2 inches of space between each ball.
  7. Bake the batch. Place in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 9–11 minutes until edges are set but centers are pale.
  8. Finish and set. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with 1 tsp flaky sea salt. Let them firm up on the pan for at least 5 minutes. > Chef's Tip: If your cookies come out in irregular shapes, use a large round glass or cookie cutter to gently scoot the warm cookies into perfect circles immediately after they come out of the oven.
