Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 cup   (165g) all purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup cup cooled, unsalted, or salted melted cooled butter
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cup  good quality dark chocolate by Hershey's, I love that the best. I have tried all types, the taste and melt is the best.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350F and line a large baking sheet with good quality parchment paper.
  • In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the flour (see notes on how to properly measure), baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the melted and cooled butter, brown sugar, and sugar. It’s important that the butter is not hot, but it can be slightly warm. Whisk this part very well, should be pasty.
  • Whisk in the egg and vanilla until smooth.
  • Pour in the dry ingredients and use a rubber spatula to fold to combine. Leave a few streaks of flour and pour in the chocolate chips. Continue to fold the dough until it mixed well. Do not over mix.
  • A 2 oz cookie scoop (or 1/4 measuring cup) is preferred for this recipe. Scoop 5 cookies onto the baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes (12 for a more gooey cookie, 15 more a more well done cookie). If you do not have a large scoop or prefer regular-sized cookies, scoop 6 cookies onto the baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes.
  • The cookies are ready when they have a golden ring around the edge but are pale and puffed in the center (see the photo above of the cookies inside the oven for reference). The cookies will continue to bake outside oven and will slowly flatten and settle as they cool.
  • When they’re fresh from the oven, top with a few extra chocolate chips and sprinkle with sea salt.
  • Transfer to a cooking rack.
  • Enjoy!
