Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Cream the Butter and Sugars

    In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

  3. 3

    Add Eggs and Vanilla

    Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.

  4. 4

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

  5. 5

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

  6. 6

    Add Chocolate Chunks

    Fold in the chocolate chunks until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

  7. 7

    Scoop the Dough

    Using a large cookie scoop or spoon, drop generous portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving plenty of space between each cookie.

  8. 8

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.

  9. 9

    Add Flaky Sea Salt

    Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top of each cookie.

  10. 10

    Cool

    Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
