Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter at room temp
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ dark brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 2 large eggs at room temp
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup milk chocolate chunks (plus extra for topping)
- Flaky sea salt, for finishing (click here to get my favorite kind)
Instructions:
- Bring all ingredients to room temperature before beginning.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar, and molasses until whipped & smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour & baking soda. Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Gently fold in the milk chocolate chunks.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Scoop out dough balls (about 2 tablespoons each) and place them on the baking sheet, leaving space between each.
- Bake for 9-12 minutes, until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft.
- While they’re still warm, sprinkle a little flaky sea salt on top. Here's a link to my favorite. This is the magic step—trust me.
- Let them cool for a few minutes (if you can wait), then enjoy.
Hope you enjoy!
