Make the best sea salt chocolate chip cookies with dark chocolate for a sophisticated, balanced flavor perfect for any dessert table.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate bars
  • 1/2 cup flaky sea salt, for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in the dark chocolate chips.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  8. Immediately after removing the cookies from the oven, sprinkle the tops generously with flaky sea salt.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This helps prevent spreading.
  • Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best taste contrast with the sea salt.
  • If you want a flatter, chewier cookie, press down slightly on the dough balls before baking.
