Ingredients

1 ½ cups - all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons - baking powder
½ tsp - salt
⅔ cup - granulated sugar
¾ cup - unsalted butter
1 tsp - vanilla extract
1 - egg
4 ounces - chocolate
flaky sea salt

Instructions

In a small bowl combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar on high speed for 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the egg and vanilla until fully combined.
Scrape down the bowl, then add in the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined.
Lastly, fold in the chocolate.
Portion the cookie dough with a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop and place them on one small baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Freeze the cookie dough for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the frozen cookie dough on a parchment lined baking sheet spaced about 2 inches apart. Top each with more chocolate.
Bake the cookies for about 12-14 minutes until the edges are golden.
Once the cookies are done baking, immediately use a large cookie cutter to push the edges in and shape the cookies into perfect circles.
Allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet.
Top with flaky sea salt and enjoy!
