1 cup brown sugar, packed (you can use light or dark)
½ cup white sugar
2 tsp real vanilla extract
1 large egg + 1 large egg yolk
1½ cups dark or semi-sweet chocolate chunks or 200g dark chocolat, chopped
Pink Himalayan sea salt
Optional twist - add in 1 cup mini peanut butter cups, chopped
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325F and line 2 baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper.
Sift together flour, baking soda and salt into a small bowl. Whisk until combined.
With a hand mixer or stand mixer, combine melted butter and sugars. Beat for about 3 minutes until creamy.
Add in egg, egg yolk and vanilla and beat for another 2 - 3 minutes.
Slowly mix in flour by hand or on low speed with your mixer. Lastly, add in chocolate chunks and mix by hand with a spoon. (if using peanut butter cups add in with chocoloate chunks or chopped chocolate)
Chill dough for 30 minutes for easy scooping.
Using a ¼ cup ice cream scoop, place mounds of cookie dough onto baking sheet, leaving plenty of space between the dough.
Top with a light sprinkle of pink sea salt.
Bake for 15 - 18 minutes, until edges are crispy and centre is still a bit soft. Remove from oven, let sit for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to baking rack to completely cool.
