Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
  • ½ cup cocoa powder sifted if lumpy
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips plus more for topping
  • to taste flaky sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsalted butter, packed light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Cream the mixture on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add in the egg and vanilla extract. Mix on low speed until well incorporated.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Sift the cocoa powder if it’s lumpy.
  • Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  • Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  • Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto a prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
  • Press a few more chocolate chips into the tops of each cookie and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers look slightly soft.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
