Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two large baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
In a stand mixer bowl, beat together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix well, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
Press extra chocolate chips into the tops of the cookies, then sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
Bake for 9-10 minutes, until the edges are lightly set and the centers are soft. Let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a minty twist, add mint extract and mint chocolate chips to the dough.

Substitute dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor, or add a sprinkle of extra sea salt for a gourmet touch.

If your dough is too soft, chill it in the fridge for 15-20 minutes before baking to prevent spreading.

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
