Sea Salt Chocolate Cookies
Ingredients
  • nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 cup butter, cut into chunks
  • 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon sea salt, or as needed
Instructions
1
First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (or 175 degrees Celsius). Next, prepare the baking surfaces by lining two large trays with parchment paper and giving them a light spray of non-stick cooking spray.
2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt to create a dry mixture.
3
In a saucepan, gently heat the butter over low heat until it's fully melted and reaches your desired consistency, taking around 3 to 5 minutes. Then, add the chocolate chips and stir until they're completely incorporated into the melted butter.
4
Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the brown sugar, white sugar, eggs, and vanilla until you achieve a smooth consistency. Gradually pour in a small amount of the melted chocolate mixture and mix until well combined. Be cautious not to add too much, as this may cause the eggs to curdle.
5
Slowly pour in the remaining chocolate mixture while continuously stirring to avoid any lumps or curdling. Finally, fold in the dry mixture until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
6
Scoop six large portions of batter onto each prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between them.
7
Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake until the cookies have spread, flattened to a diameter of 4 1/2 inches or larger, and the tops are crinkled and puffed. This should take around 12 to 14 minutes.
8
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack. Immediately sprinkle the cookies with sea salt before they have a chance to cool.
9
Allow the cookies to cool for 18 to 20 minutes, then use a spatula to transfer them to a serving platter.
