Decadent Double Chocolate Chip Cookies with a Sprinkle of Flaky Salt

Ingredients

- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 tablespoon flaky salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Cream the Butter and Sugars:
In a large mixing bowl, beat 1 cup of softened butter, 1 cup of packed light brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

3. Add the Wet Ingredients:
Add 2 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

4. Combine the Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

5. Mix the Dry and Wet Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Take care not to overmix to ensure tender cookies.

6. Fold in the Chocolates:
Gently fold in 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 cup of chopped dark chocolate using a spatula.

7. Shape the Cookies:
Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

8. Bake the Cookies:
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still soft.

9. Add Flaky Salt:
Immediately after removing the cookies from the oven, sprinkle each cookie with a pinch of flaky salt. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
