Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and sea salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugars together until creamy and light.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
  8. Sprinkle a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt on top of each cookie.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges look set.
  2. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
