I am not a baker at all, but my friend Randi makes the best cookies I have ever eaten. This year I decided to find a recipe that could maybe compete with hers. I think I have found it. These chocolate chip cookies have just a drop of sea salt sprinkled on the top. The saltiness perfectly accentuates the flavors of the cookie. This is the only cookie I will ever make. I doubled the recipe and would definitely recommend doing that every time.
Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup salted butter (room temperature)
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup + 2 tsp granulated sugar
1 large egg at room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Sea Salt Flakes (I have a grater I used)
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375. Prepare cookie sheets by placing parchment paper on them.
1 Combine flour and baking soda to a mixing bowl. (I sifted the flour into the bowl to make it nice and fluffy). Whsk the two ingredients to combine.
2 In a large bowl add softened butter and both sugars. Beat until mixture is smooth and fluffy.
3. Add egg and vanilla, beat on low speed until combined.
4. Add flour, half of the mixture at a time, beat until combined. Be sure to not overmix.
5. Add chocolate chips and stir together with a wooden spoon.
6. Cover bowl and chill at least 30 minutes (I chilled two days because I got busy and couldn't get back to it)
7. Use a teaspoon to create rounded balls. Place on parchment paper a couple of inches apart. Add 1 or 2 chocolate chips to the top of the scoops of dough.
8. Bake at 375 for about 10 minutes until the cookies are golden brown. I like my cookies on the crunchy side so watch that first batch closely. I noticed that even a few seconds made a big difference.
9. When you remove the cookies from the oven, sprinkle a few flakes of sea salt on each cookie. I have a sea salt grater that I used. Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for about five minutes and then finish cooling on a rack.
