Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter Make sure it's at room temperature.
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar Light or dark, based on preference.
  • 4 large eggs At room temperature.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder For best results, use high-quality cocoa powder.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Regular table salt.
  • 1 cup chocolate chips Semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips work well.
  • Sea salt for sprinkling For finishing touch.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Cream together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, blending well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt until combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in chocolate chips.
  7. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop portions of dough onto a lined baking sheet.
  8. Sprinkle each mound of dough lightly with sea salt.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until edges are set and tops look slightly cracked but still soft.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best texture, avoid overmixing the dough after adding flour. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to four days or freeze for up to three months.
