These chewy, crispy chocolate chip cookies are a happy accident turned signature party dessert. Made with simple ingredients and ready in under 30 minutes, they’re perfect for any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 tablespoons (85 grams) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50 grams) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (95 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (90 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Flaky sea salt, for finishing

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed.
  4. Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat on low speed until just combined, about 30 seconds.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed until just a few streaks of flour remain, about 20 seconds.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips using a rubber spatula until evenly distributed.
  7. Scoop the dough into 12 equal portions using a 1.5-tablespoon cookie scoop. Place dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  9. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the cookies with flaky sea salt. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
  10. Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

For thicker, chewier cookies, chill the scooped dough balls for 30 minutes before baking. Do not overbake; cookies continue to set on the hot baking sheet. Use a cookie scoop for uniform sizes. Bake one sheet at a time for even heat distribution.
