Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and lightly coat with nonstick spray. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt. Set aside. (3 minutes)

03

Step

In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until completely smooth and glossy. (5-7 minutes)

04

Step

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until light and creamy. (3-5 minutes)

05

Step

Gradually pour in a small amount of the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring well to combine. Continue adding the remaining chocolate mixture slowly, mixing constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling. (3 minutes)

06

Step

Gently fold in the dry flour mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter to keep the cookies tender. (2 minutes)

07

Step

Using a large cookie scoop or spoon, drop generous mounds of batter about 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets. (5 minutes)

08

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the cookies have spread, flattened, and the tops are crinkled and slightly puffed, approximately 12 to 14 minutes.

09

Step

Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the cookies with flaky sea salt. Transfer the baking sheets to a wire rack to cool for at least 18 to 20 minutes before serving. (20 minutes)

10

Step

Carefully use a spatula to transfer the cookies to a serving platter. Enjoy the sublime combination of chocolate and sea salt!

For an even richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
If the cookie dough is too soft to handle, chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before scooping.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their soft texture.
Adjust the amount of sea salt to your preference. A higher quality flaky sea salt will offer the best flavor and texture.
