Ingredients

  1. 2 cups all-purpose flour
  2. 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  3. 1 teaspoon baking soda
  4. 1 teaspoon salt
  5. 1 cup butter
  6. 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

  12. fleur de sel to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  2. Whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. Set aside.
  3. Combine butter and chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until chocolate is melted and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well to incorporate each one. Add brown sugar, white sugar, and vanilla extract; mix well. Fold in flour mixture until no dry streaks remain. Fold in chocolate chunks.
  4. Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of cookie dough onto a baking stone or nonstick cookie sheets. Sprinkle fleur de sel over the tops.

  6. You can use French sea salt or any quality sea salt with a medium-coarse grind.

These cookies are phenomenal!!! I am neither a cookie person nor a chocolate person and I had made 4 batches (#s 2, 3, and 4 at the unanimous request of my daughter’s softball team) before I actually tried one. I’m so glad I did. They’re amazing. I only let them cool on the cookie sheets for 2 minutes and they come out soft and chewy. Just perfect. I was the cookie mom before, but now I’m THE cookie mom. Thanks so much for this recipe. Don’t change a thing.

My only change was substituting more chocolate chips for the chunk chocolate because it was 20 degrees and I didn’t want to go out! Delicious cookie. Very rich and very chocolatey. I used a small cookie scoop — 1″, I think — and wish I’d made them even smaller. Baked 3 dozen and froze another 2 dozen. My husband loved them.

These are a new favorite, very chocolatey. I did not sprinkle with salt and next time I will probably reduce the salt in the dough by half as they were a bit salty for my family’s taste. Instead of the chocolate chunks I mixed in crushed toffee candy and cooked a bit longer for a crisper cookie. These are great with coffee/tea, on their own, and packed in lunches.

These are so good … I’m already making a deal with myself … if I eat these while exercising, can I eat more?
