Using salt in sweet dishes like cookies and cakes might seem counterintuitive. But salt has a wonderful ability to intensify other flavours, including those in baked goods, especially chocolate. Immediately after your chocolate chip cookies are out of the oven, sprinkle a little bit of sea salt onto them to enhance their flavours for lightly salted chocolate chip cookies with a richer flavour.
It is not recommended to use sea salt in the cookie dough itself. Seeing as the baking time for cookies is relatively short, it does not allow for enough time for the salt in the dough to 'melt' into the cookies which might result in large, unincorporated salt crystals. As such, sea salt chocolate chip cookies are best created by a light sprinkling of salt after baking.

These chocolate chip cookies are very easy to make but much harder to stop eating. With their chewy, buttery centre they are incredibly soft and tender to sink your teeth into.

These cookies are delicious whether you are using chocolate chips or chunks. Chocolate chips may be the easier choice but making your own chunks of chopped chocolate is not very time consuming either. Using chunks for chocolate chip cookies allows you to use your favourite kind of chocolate and chop the chocolate to the exact the size you find best – maybe a mix of big and small chunks.
The best chocolate chip cookie recipe is one that allows you to bake some truly delectable cookies that walk a thin line between being soft, chewy, and a little bit crispy around the edges. Beating butter and sugar well, using brown sugar, and baking for a short while at a high temperature are some of the ways to ensure a perfect cookie result. Enjoying your chocolate chip cookies after allowing them to chill for only a short while is the best way to make sure that their chocolate centre is still warm and gooey and that you get them at their very chewiest.
You can make all sorts of different variations with our basic, easy chocolate chip cookie recipe. For example, try some extra gooey and chewy chocolate chip marshmallow cookies.

If you cannot get enough of chocolate, you might want to experiment with turning this into a double chocolate chip cookie recipe – or maybe even triple chocolate! Choose between white, milk, and dark chocolate to use for your double or triple chocolate chip cookies and mix however you want. Want a sweeter and fresher variation? Use white and milk chocolate. Want a little bit of everything? Use all three kinds. Want a little dark as well as sweet? Use dark and milk chocolate. Experiment with the different types and find your favourite chocolate chip cookie combination. If you want a more intense and little less sweet version go with a chocolate that has a higher percentage in chocolate, 70% for example. This is give a more intense and bitter experience.
