Double Chocolate Chip Cookies With Sea Salt Step-By-Step Directions

1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F).

2) Combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together into a mixing bowl. Mix dry ingredients together with a whisk and then set aside.

3) Add the butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or mixing bowl if using a handheld mixer). Mix on medium speed for five minutes until creamy.

4) Next, with the mixer on low speed, add the vanilla. Then add the eggs, one at a time, mixing for about 30 seconds or until each egg is incorporated.

5) Add the dry ingredients in two additions with the mixer on low speed. Mix just until incorporated, then fold in chocolate chips.

6) Using a medium cookie scoop (1 & 1/2 tablespoons), scoop cookies into balls and place 1-inch apart on a baking sheet.

7) Sprinkle a bit of sea salt on each cookie. Bake for 9-12 minutes until the top of the cookies look dry, rotating baking sheet halfway through baking.

8) Place the baking sheet on a cooling rack for a few minutes and then transfer cookies onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Use whatever chocolate you have on hand, whether it's chocolate chunks or regular chocolate chips

If you have extra time, scoop your cookies onto a baking sheet and put them in the freezer for about ten minutes to firm up. They will bake a little fluffier
