Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is hot enough for baking the cookies.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and sea salt until well combined. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Cream Butter and Sugars

    In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.

  4. 4

    Add Eggs and Vanilla

    Add the large eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.

Combining Ingredients

  1. 5

    Incorporate Dry Ingredients

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

  2. 6

    Fold in Chocolate Chunks

    Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chunks until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Baking

  1. 7

    Prepare Baking Sheet

    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.

  2. 8

    Scoop and Bake

    Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

  3. 9

    Sprinkle with Sea Salt

    Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt on top of each cookie while still warm.

Cooling

  1. 10

    Cool the Cookies

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