Chocolate Cookies with Fleur de Sel
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.

Chewy Chocolate Cookies with Fleur de Sel
Rich chocolate cookies sprinkled with sea salt.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup unsalted butter , at room temperature (170 grams)
- 1 ½ cup granulated sugar (300 grams)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (250 grams)
- ⅔ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (not dutch-processed) (80 grams)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Fleur de Sel or other flaky salt , for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar on medium high speed until light and creamy, about 4 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each. Add the vanilla.

- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for several days.

These look so amazing!!
Sorry you had such a bad day. Hopefully a little chocolate and a little sleep will help you have brighter days ahead!
Oh, Annalise, we’ve all been there. I hope today is a better day! I can’t see how these cookies wouldn’t make anything better, they look amazing. Sending hugs!!
I’m sorry you had a bad day, but it seems like this cookies can make it all better 🙂
Cookies make everything better…always! Hang in there!
These look so perfect! Some days you just need something chocolate and simple, and good for dunking in milk. Love this!
These cookies are perfection. Thank you for sharing, and I hope they soothed your nerves when you needed them!!
Some days taking care of a newborn can seem like the hardest thing you could ever do. Those are the low points, but they get to be fewer and farther between as time passes. You’ll be fine, and a little crying never hurt anyone. I hope it gets better soon! (And the cookies look amazing!)
I am a first time mum and the first couple of months i cried alot when she cried..even though my mum and hubby were around. It gets better though. Try to stay calm as babies sense your mood..easier said than done though. It gets better. Belle is almost 11 months now. Your cookies look amazing.
If these awesome cookies don’t help you on your bad days, I don’t know what will!
Thank you for the recipe, they look awsome. I was looking at the sugar measurements though, there must be a mistake. 1/2 cup of sugar should be the same weight as 1/2 cup butter, while 300 g of sugar would be more like 1 1/3 cups?
Elana, thank you so much for catching my error. It should be 1 1/2 cups sugar, I have fixed it in the recipe (and printable). Sorry for the confusion!
Awsome, I’ll make them next week, can’t wait!
Hang in there with the new baby, it will be worth it!
I just came to check your photo colors after our conversation yesterday and on my iMac monitor your photos look outstanding!
Thanks Kalyn! It was nice of you to stop by and look.
I remember those days well and I promise that “this, too, shall pass”. “Chewy” with a little saltiness is exactly how I love my cookies.
I just LOVE a sugary/salty combination!
Thanks for the genuine blog post. We can’t all be superheroes 100% of the time and it’s okay to have off days. I don’t have a newborn but I will in November! I can’t wait for all the good and the challenges!
Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy and upcoming new arrival, how exciting!
Aww…I`m sorry for the bad days. Raising babies is definitely not an easy job. Wish you best of luck! 🙂
And i shall make these cookies when i`m having bad days myself! ahah
I thought these cookies were REALLY good! Thanks for sharing them with us!
Your cookies are amazing did them already like 5 times & turned delicious every time! I just wanted to ask you if i can use 1 teaspoon of baking powder instead of baking soda.
Thanks
