Chocolate Chip Cookies by Sleepymuksrecipes

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• Flaky sea salt, for topping

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl, then set aside.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for 1 to 2 minutes until it forms a thick paste.
4. Whisk in the egg and vanilla until fully combined.
5. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until no dry streaks remain.
6. Stir in the chocolate chips with a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
7. Scoop 9 dough portions onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart so they can spread.
8. Bake for 12 minutes, until the edges are golden and the centers still look soft and gooey.
9. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt right away, then cool completely before serving.
