Is
there anything more classic than chocolate chip cookies? I love them
soft and chewy, or thin and crispy, or fresh from the oven, or even
straight out of a Chips Ahoy! package (I'm no cookies snob!). I
have a bunch of memories of getting home from elementary school and
being greeted by freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. My mom is the
kind of baker who never does anything exactly the same twice, and I
loved how her cookies where a tiny bit different every time she made
them.There are SO many good chocolate chip cookie recipes out there.I prefer to use all dark (or semi sweet) chocolate chips and
additional sea salt. They turn out thin with crispy edges, soft centers
and plenty of flavor.Dark Chocolate and Sea Salt Cookies, makes two dozen.
Needed: 3 1/2 cups flour, 1 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, 1 1/4 teaspoon
baking powder, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 1/4 cups softened butter, 1 1/2 cup
brown sugar, 1 cup sugar, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 cups
dark chocolate chips and 2 table spoons coarse grain sea salt.
Most of the recipes are taken from HERE!
In the bowl of stand mixer (or just with an electric mixer) cream
together the softened butter and sugars. Add in the eggs and vanilla
extract and cream until combined. In a separate bowl whisk together the
flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt (not the coarse grain sea
salt, that's for the topping). Add the flour mixture to the butter
batter and mix until just incorporated. Add in the chocolate chips and
stir until just combined. Spoon batter onto a baking sheet lined with
parchment paper. Sprinkle the tops with sea salt. Bake at 350 F for
16-18 minutes until edges are browned.
