Yield
About 24 Cookies
 
Ingredients
8oz unsalted butter, softened
14oz light-brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup eggs
1lbs all-purpose flour
1/4 tablespoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
16oz dark chocolate chips
1 tablespoon maldon sea salt (for garnish)
 
Instructions:
 
1. Preheat oven to 325°F
 
2. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, on medium speed cream the softened butter and light-brown sugar together until light and fluffy. Turn the speed down to low and add the eggs into the mixture one at a time. Scrape down the sides of the bowl so that everything is incorporated evenly, then mix in the vanilla extract.
 
3. In a separate medium sized bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, salt and baking soda. Fold in the butter-sugar-egg mixture into the dry ingredients. Then gently fold in the chocolate chips.
 
4. Roll the dough into balls (about 3 tablespoons each) and place onto a baking sheet lined with parchment. On each dough ball, sprinkle a pinch of maldon sea salt.
 
5. Transfer the cookie sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until desired doneness. Transfer to a rack and allow to cool before eating.
 
Enjoy!
