Ingredients

¾ cup - unsalted butter
1 tbsp - dark brown sugar
¼ tbsp - granulated sugar
¼ tsp - pure vanilla extract
½ tbsp - heavy whipping cream
3 tablespoons - all-purpose flour
⅛ tsp - baking soda
1 pinch - Kosher salt
2 tablespoons - semi-sweet chocolate chips
flaky salt

Instructions

Combine the melted butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a small mixing bowl. Whisk the mixture until it's well-combined, about 1 minute. It will be sandy. Add the vanilla extract and heavy whipping cream. Whisk until the mixture is lightened and fluffy, 1 more minute.
Fold in the all purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until the dough is about 75% combined. Then, add the chocolate chips and fold just until there are no more streaks of flour. Don't over-mix the dough!
Line a small sheet pan with parchment paper. Then, roll the cookie dough into a big ball. Press the cookie dough ball into a thick disc and place it on the parchment-lined sheet pan. Pop the cookie dough in the freezer while you preheat the oven.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Once the oven is ready and the dough has chilled for 10-15 minutes, transfer the sheet pan to the oven. Bake the cookie for 13-14 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is a tad gooey.
Let the cookie cool on the sheet pan for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Sprinkle it with flaky salt, if desired, and enjoy!
