Steps
In a mixer or a large bowl, mix melted butter and sugars. Add egg and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined. To the same bowl, add flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined. Do NOT over mix. Fold in chopped chocolate.
Using a cookie scoop, form dough into balls (approx. 1.5 tablespoons of dough). Place on a baking sheet and refrigerate the dough balls for, at least, 20 minutes (the longer, the better). You can freeze any leftover dough for future use.*
When ready to bake, remove dough from fridge. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place dough balls on baking sheet.
Bake for 10-11 minutes until the edges are golden brown. Remove from oven and sprinkle with sea salt. It's ok if they are a little undercooked, they will continue to bake as they cool. Cool for 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy!

Laura Wyatt on 2025-10-07 (5 stars): I have won Best in show several times in baking competitions..never this recipe...57 years old and I must say..THIS IS THE BEST CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE RECIPE ON THE PLANET...
Elizabeth-Gwendolyn Heinlein on 2025-10-07 (5 stars): I made these as I had butter that was about to expire it was salted butter (sorry) so I omitted the salt from the recipe and these turned out perfectly I had a block of cheap cooking dark chocolate I chopped it up into tiny squares, I usually use chocolate chips but can't afford them currently, will use chocolate chips next time these were perfect chewy crisp on the edges and I will make sure to buy another baking sheet pan ,I have a cooling rack so it was no problem cooking 10 at a time
Neshia on 2025-10-07 (5 stars): Literally THE best cookie recipe in the internet! And I have been searching for years. These are so soft, so gooey, with perfect crispy edges. I did have to bake them for longer, 15 mins, and increased from 350°F to 360°F but they may have just been my oven being off. PERFECT RECIPE!

Tammy Hassell on 2025-09-26 (5 stars): My cookie dough batter was kind of runny so I couldn't make balls, I had to chill the dough in the no l and they were a little thin, but taste great! What am I doing wrong?
