Rich and fudgy chocolate cookies sprinkled with flaky sea salt. The best sweet and salty treat!

I love these chocolate cookies. They’re essentially just my soft and chewy chocolate cookies, but with a generous sprinkling of fleur de sel. These cookies are intensely chocolatey and have that fun sweet and salty flavor combination that we all crave.

Fleur de sel is an artisinal French salt, but if you can’t get your hands on it, any coarse or flaky sea salt will do.

Ingredients
 

  • ¾ cup unsalted butter , at room temperature (170 grams)
  • 1 ½ cup granulated sugar (300 grams)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
