These salted chocolate cookies are rich, chewy, and bursting with chocolate flavor, with a hint of salt to balance out the sweetness. They are perfect for any occasion, whether you're craving a sweet snack or need a crowd-pleasing dessert.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until combined.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Scoop the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Flatten the balls slightly with the palm of your hand and sprinkle each cookie with a pinch of sea salt.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
