Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1⅓ cups (130g) Flour
  • ½ tsp Baking soda
  • ½ tsp Baking powder
  • ¾ tsp Salt
  • ½ cup (112g) Unsulted Butter, melted and cooled
  • ½ cup (100g) Brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup (70g) White sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (200g) Chocolate chips
  • Flaky Sea salt, for topping

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, whisk melted (cooled) butter, brown sugar, and white sugar for 1–2 minutes until thick and paste-like.
  4. Whisk in the egg and vanilla until smooth.
  5. Fold in the dry ingredients using a rubber spatula. Add chocolate chips and fold just until combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Scoop dough using a cookie scoop or tablespoon and place on the baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 12 minutes for gooey cookies or 15 minutes for more set cookies.
  8. Cookies are ready when edges are golden and centers are pale and puffed. If they spread too much, gently nudge edges inward immediately after baking.
  9. Top with extra chocolate chips and a light sprinkle of sea salt while hot.
  10. Transfer to a cooling rack. Let cool for 20 minutes before eating.

Notes

  • Do not use hot butter—it will melt the sugar and ruin the texture.
  • Slight underbaking is intentional for soft centers.
  • These cookies firm up as they cool.
