Double Chocolate Chunk Cookies with Sea Salt

Enjoy the rich, chocolatey flavor of these double chocolate chunk cookies with a hint of sea salt. These cookies have a soft center, slightly crisp edges, and a delicious combination of sweet and salty flavors.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chunks
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks
• Sea salt flakes, for sprinkling

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350F 175C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined

Fold in the semisweet and dark chocolate chunks

Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie

Gently press a few extra chocolate chunks onto the tops of the dough mounds

Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt flakes over each cookie for a delightful contrast of flavors

Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft

Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely
