⏱ 45 min · easy · 🍽 serves 4

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 12 oz good dark chocolate, chopped
• Flaky salt

Steps

1. Cream the butter and both sugars for a full 3 minutes until pale and fluffy. Time it.
2. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla.
3. Fold in the flour, soda and salt until barely combined, then the chopped chocolate.
4. Chill the dough at least 30 minutes, ideally overnight. This is where the flavor develops.
5. Heat the oven to 375F. Scoop generous balls onto lined sheets, well apart.
6. Bake 10-12 minutes until the edges are set and the middles still look underdone. Sprinkle with flaky salt and let them finish on the hot pan.
