Salty Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 113 g butter, room temperature
• 25 g granulated sugar
• 25 g raw sugar
• 165 g brown sugar
• 1 large egg(s), size L
• 1 tsp, leveled vanilla extract
• ¾ tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt (sea salt or table salt)
• 220 g flour, type 405 or 550
• 225 g chocolate, semisweet or other dark chocolate
• some sea salt flakes for sprinkling

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Rest time approx. 5 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 12 minutes; Total time approx. 37 minutes

Preheat the oven to 180°C (top/bottom heat) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. In a large bowl, cream the room-temperature butter and sugar with an electric mixer until very light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and continue beating until well blended, occasionally scraping down the sides of the bowl. Add the fine sea salt or table salt and the baking powder and mix well, then briefly mix in the flour at low speed. The batter will look crumbly at this point. Fold in the chocolate pieces with a spatula. Scoop the cookies into 1 1/2 tablespoon-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving plenty of space between them. If desired, sprinkle each cookie with a few flakes of sea salt. Bake for 11-12 minutes, until golden brown on the outside but still very sticky and soft on the inside. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
