Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 cups chocolate chips
  • sea salt, to taste
  • milk, for serving

Directions

Step 1 -In a large bowl, whisk together the kosher salt, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and butter, until a paste with no lumps forms.

Step 2 -Whisk in the vanilla and egg, beating until light ribbons fall off of the whisk and remain shortly before dissolving back into the mixture.

Step 3 -Sift in the baking soda and flour, then fold with a spatula to combine, being cautious to not over-mix.

Step 4 -Fold in the chocolate chips.

Step 5 -Chill the dough for 30 minutes, or overnight if a richer flavor is desired.

Step 6 -Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 7 -Then, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 8 -Scoop the dough up with an ice-cream scoop onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving 4 inches of space between the cookies and 2 inches of space from the edges of the pan.

Step 9 -Bake until the edges have started to slightly brown, for 12-15 minutes.

Step 10 -Top each cookie with a sprinkle of salt, to taste, once they come out of the oven.

Step 11 -Let the cookies fully cool before serving with a glass of milk.
