Ingredients

1/2 cup Unsalted butter melted and cooled
3/4 cup Brown sugar light or dark
1/3 cup White granulated sugar
1 Large egg room temperature
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups All purpose flour spooned and leveled
1/2 tsp Baking soda
1/2 tsp Baking powder
1/2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 1/4 cups Dark chocolate chopped or chocolate chips
Flaky sea salt optional, sprinkled on top after baking

Instructions

First, melt the butter in the microwave or on the stove. Then, allow it to cool completely before mixing in the sugars, about 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the cool melted butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar. Whisk for 2 minutes until the mixture turns into a paste-like consistency. Then, add the egg and vanilla extract, stirring until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Then, slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
Once the dough is combined, gently fold in the chopped chocolate. The chocolate should be evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using an ice cream scoop, scoop the cookies onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
Cover the cookies with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes, or longer. This prevents the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
Preheat oven to 350℉. Then, place the cookies onto a baking sheet, a couple inches apart. Bake for 10-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are slightly soft. Remember, the cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
