Directions

Prepare the Dough

Preheat the Oven – Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
Cream the Butter and Sugars – In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add Eggs and Vanilla – Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients – In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Mix the Dough – Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in Chocolate – Gently stir in the white chocolate chips and dark chocolate chunks.

Bake the Cookies

Scoop the Dough – Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake – Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
Add Sea Salt – Immediately after removing from the oven, sprinkle each cookie with a pinch of flaky sea salt.

Cool & Serve

Let Them Rest – Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

FAQs

Can I make these cookies ahead of time?

Yes! You can refrigerate the dough for up to 24 hours before baking.

Why do I need to sprinkle sea salt on top?

Sea salt enhances the flavor by balancing the sweetness and bringing out the chocolate’s richness.

Can I use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate?

Absolutely! Feel free to customize the chocolate to your taste.

How do I make my cookies extra chewy?

Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking helps create a chewier texture.

What’s the best way to measure flour?

Spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level it off with a knife to avoid using too much.

Can I use margarine instead of butter?

Butter gives the best flavor and texture, but margarine can work in a pinch.

How do I make them gluten-free?

Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour substitute for the best results.

Why did my cookies spread too much?

If your cookies spread too much, the butter may have been too soft. Try chilling the dough before baking.

Can I double the recipe?

Yes! Simply double all ingredients and bake in batches.

What’s the secret to bakery-style cookies?

Using high-quality chocolate and slightly underbaking the cookies for a soft center makes all the difference!
