Ingredients
  

Batter Ingredients

  • ¾ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • 1 large egg

Baking Instructions

  • Cream butter and sugars in stand mixer for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add egg and vanilla and keep beating for 1 min.
  • Meanwhile in a separate bowl mix flour, salt, and baking soda.
  • Slowly add dry mixture to wet mixture and cream. Then add the chocolate chips and mix quickly until incorporated.
  • Using a cookie scoop (2-3 tbsp. works best), scoop dough onto parchment lined cookie sheet.
  • Freeze cookie sheet with dough on it for 30 minutes or longer, until dough is hard.
  • Remove dough from freezer. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat. Place frozen balls on it, evenly spaced (8-12 per sheet works great).
  • Bake in preheated 385 degrees for 7-9 minutes, until tops are lightly browning.
  • Once tops are light brown, remove from oven and transfer pan to top of stove to cool.
  • If you desire a flatter looking cookie, flatten the top of the cookie lightly with the back of a flat spatula.
  • Let cool on cookie sheet for 10 minutes before eating or transferring.
  • Once removed from oven, top with flaked sea salt.

Notes

If the tops of your cookies aren't browning enough, you can bake at 390 or 400°F. Once tops and edges are browned (and inside is still gooey), they are done.
