Salted Chocolate Chip Cookies

When grocery shopping I do not by any treats or desserts on purpose. Because I have no will power what so ever and if it's there I'll eat it. (First step to recovery is admitting you have a problem)

So if I am in the mood for dessert I have to make something. Which usually does not end up happening because lets face it when you get a sweet craving at 8pm your most likely not going to bake that batch of cookies.

But tonight was a different story, John is away again this week for work and I was caught up on all my dvr shows soooo
I baked these:

Salted Chocolate Chip Cookies



  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoons sea salt plus extra teaspoon salt for final sprinkle
  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 3/4 cups packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1  teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips 



  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Line 2 large baking sheets 
    Mix together flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl.
    Beat together butter and sugars in a large bowl with an electric mixer at high speed until pale and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Lightly beat 1 egg with a fork in a small bowl and add 1 3/4 tablespoons of it plus remaining whole egg to butter mixture, beating with mixer until creamy, about 1 minute. Beat in vanilla. Reduce speed to low and mix in flour mixture until just blended, then stir in chocolate chips.
    Scoop 1/4 cup batter for each cookie, arranging mounds 3 inches apart, on 2 baking sheets. Flatten mounds into 3-inch rounds using moistened palm of your hand.  Form remaining cookies on additional sheets of parchment. Sprinkle each cookie with a dash of additional salt.
    Bake, 1 sheet at a time, until golden, 13 to 15 minutes. Transfer cookies to a rack to cool and continue making cookies in same manner using cooled baking sheets.
    Makes 9 large cookies. (adapted from source)





    They were soo good, they were definitely sweet with a little salty mixed in. And had they wonderful ooey gooey texture on the inside.
