Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (115g) Unsalted Butter, slightly softened but cool
- 1/2 cup (100g) Light Brown Sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup (50g) Granulated White Sugar
- 1 large Egg, room temperature
- 1.5 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1.5 cups (190g) All-Purpose Flour
- 0.5 tsp Baking Soda
- 0.5 tsp Fine Sea Salt
- 3/4 cup Mini Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- 1 tsp Flaky sea salt for finishing
Instructions:
- Prep the environment. Preheat your oven to 175°C and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream the fats. Beat 115g of slightly softened butter with 100g light brown sugar and 50g granulated sugar until pale and fluffy. Note: This traps air for a better lift.
- Incorporate liquids. Add the large egg and 1.5 tsp vanilla extract, beating on medium speed for about 1 minute.
- Sift dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk 190g all purpose flour, 0.5 tsp baking soda, and 0.5 tsp fine sea salt.
- Combine gently. Pour the dry mix into the wet and mix on the lowest speed until just a few streaks of flour remain.
- Fold the chocolate. Add 3/4 cup mini semi sweet chips using a spatula.
- Portion the dough. Scoop level teaspoons (about the size of a large marble) onto the sheets, spaced 5cm apart.
- Bake for precision. Place in the oven for 8 minutes until the edges are golden and the centers look slightly soft.
- Season immediately. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with 1 tsp flaky sea salt while the chocolate is still glistening.
- Cool and set. Let them sit on the hot pan for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
