Total time: PT40M

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted (let it cool for 5 minutes))
- 3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup chopped dark chocolate ((or any chocolate of your choice))
- Flaky sea salt for garnish ((optional))

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