Method
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, stir together the melted butter, brown sugar, and turbinado sugar until well combined.
- Add the egg and stir until incorporated. Then add the vinegar and vanilla extract and mix well.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips gently.
- Using a large cookie scoop (about 3 tablespoons per cookie), drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until the edges are slightly golden but the centers still look soft.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt before serving.
💡 Tips
- For extra soft cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- Use a cookie scoop for evenly sized cookies.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
