Is there anything more classic than chocolate chip cookies? I love them soft and chewy, or thin and crispy, or fresh from the oven, or even straight out of a Chips Ahoy! package (I'm no cookies snob!). I have a bunch of memories of getting home from elementary school and being greeted by freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. My mom is the kind of baker who never does anything exactly the same twice, and I loved how her cookies where a tiny bit different every time she made them.There are SO many good chocolate chip cookie recipes out there. This one is a slightly adapted from Martha Stewart as I prefer to use all dark (or semi sweet) chocolate chips and additional sea salt. They turn out thin with crispy edges, soft centers and plenty of flavor.Dark Chocolate and Sea Salt Cookies, makes two dozen.
Needed: 3 1/2 cups flour, 1 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, 1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 1/4 cups softened butter, 1 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 cup sugar, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 cups dark chocolate chips and 2 table spoons coarse grain sea salt.
In the bowl of stand mixer (or just with an electric mixer) cream together the softened butter and sugars. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract and cream until combined. In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt (not the coarse grain sea salt, that's for the topping). Add the flour mixture to the butter batter and mix until just incorporated. Add in the chocolate chips and stir until just combined. Spoon batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle the tops with sea salt. Bake at 350 F for 16-18 minutes until edges are browned. Enjoy! xo. Emma

I love baking chocolate chip cookies… I always end up adding a tad more salt than the recipes call for, salty and sweet combo is just the best. These sounds excellent!

Oh I love the addition of sea salt! Yum! My mom’s chocolate chip cookies were always my favorite. I like them with soft chewy center almost as if they were not all the way cooked, but they really were! Plus her secret modification to the recipe on the back of the Nestle package, made it so that chocolate chips were always soft and melty! Yum!
I love sea salt with dark chocolate. I wouldn’t have thought to put it in a chocolate chip cookie though!
Lovely.

I’ve never thought of adding salt to cookies… sounds like it would be pretty good, though! Definitely trying this out this weekend.
Chocolate and sea salt is the perfect combination as far as I’m concerned. I’m definitely going to try these cookies!

I love salt&chocolate or salt&caramel combinations … They just work!
I had a pink salt caramel yesterday for the first time and it was so interesting and different! Adding salt makes things so cool for the taste buds. ๐

Yum! My bf made chocolate chip zucchini cookies the other day and almost burned up my mixer. The cookies turned out so lovely(despite the fact that they were over-mixed) that our little neighbor boy wrote a story about them for his school assignment.
XOXO
YUM! Those sound amazing.

Chocolate chip cookies are my favorite treat! These look perfect. Love the sea salt sprinkles ๐
Mental note – sea salt is different to rock salt. I made these puppies and fwar! so salty. Amazing! But very bad for me…

I just made these and they came out great! The brown sugar is a good touch to the cookie dough base. The sea salt gives a nice contrast to the sweetness of the chocolate and the sugars. Thank you for this recipe it’s going to be a new favorite!
I have been so hooked on chocolate + sea salt recently. These look so so yummy. Gotta bake ’em!
I made these today and wow…amazing! Thank you so much for sharing. I will be busy sharing the cookie love with friends tomorrow x
Thank you for the recipe. These cookies turned out absolutely yummy!!!! My cookies did not turn out as thin as yours. Is there a secret for thinner cookies?
Thanks!
Just to say a big thank you- made this for a friend’s baby shower this weekend and they were amazing! xx
Has anyone else made these? I’m wondering if the sugar, butter, and flour amounts are correct? Mine were much more dense than those pictured. Tasty but definitely not crispy
how much cream? i dont see it listed
My favorite cookie!
