Baking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Cream Butter and Sugars

    In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until creamy and light in color.

  4. 4

    Add Eggs and Vanilla

    Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the butter mixture. Mix until fully incorporated.

  5. 5

    Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

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

  6. 6

    Fold in Chocolate Chips

    Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

  7. 7

    Scoop and Bake

    Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.

  8. 8

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may look underbaked; they will continue to cook while cooling.

  9. 9

    Cool and Enjoy

    Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
