The addition of sea salt to my favorite chocolate chip cookie takes your cookie to the highest level of yum!
So pretty much everything is better with sea salt on top right? Well, at least these chocolate chip cookies are. I mean, this is pretty much identical to my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe, the only difference is the addition of sea salt. But these chocolate chip cookies with sea salt are seriously so good, they deserve their own post.
Pin these chocolate chip cookies with sea salt for later!
It takes these cookies to the next level and makes them even more amazing than they already are to start with. So if we’re being honest, these chocolate chip cookies with sea salt are actually my favorite chocolate chip cookie.
The combination of the chewy cookie with a slightly crisp edge, stuffed full of sweet creamy milk chocolate chips (Guittard is the best!), and then just a little bit of saltiness with the sea salt on top. The salt brings out the sweetness of the chocolate chips. Its perfection my friends. And you’ve gotta have the coarse sea salt to add just the teeniest bit of crunch to your cookie.
Don’t forget to serve them with a huge glass of milk!

Is this the basic recipe for your chocolate chip cookies for two? Those are my favorite cookies but I want to make a larger batch. Thanks!
Aimee says
yeah the proportions of everything are the same pretty much, the egg is a little different since its hard to divide up smaller than a yolk, but besides that 🙂 Let me know if you try them!
