Description

No chill time, no-fuss, perfectly chewy chocolate chip cookies! All dark brown sugar, a dash of cinnamon, and a little sea salt on top – these are my dream “cookie jar” cookies.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temp.
  • 2 cups dark brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 cups dark chocolate chips
  • Coarse sea salt for topping

Instructions

  1.  Preheat the oven to 375°F. Prep a baking sheet or two with parchment paper, set aside.
  2. Whisk together your flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and kosher salt in a medium-sized bowl. Set aside.
  3.  In a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together your butter and dark brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes, scraping down the bowl halfway through).
  4. Add both eggs and vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated.
  5. With the mixer on low, slowly add in your flour mixture. Then fold in your dark chocolate chips with a spatula.
  6. Using a cookie scoop (1 1/2-2 tablespoons), place about 8 scoops of cookie dough onto your prepared baking sheet, a few inches apart. Sprinkle a little sea salt on top of each.
  7. Bake at 375°F for 10 minutes (cookies will bake a little more as they cool). Let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a separate rack to cool completely (sprinkle more sea salt on top if you’d like!). Repeat until all of your dough is gone.
  8. ENJOY!

Notes

  • Yields about 24 cookies. Cookies will keep about about 2 weeks stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
  • These cookies are perfectly chewy, mostly because they’re all dark brown sugar, but also in part because of the 10 minute bake time! They should have a little brown on top coming out of the oven and will continue to bake just a little as they cool.
  • Not a fan of cinnamon? Feel free to leave it out! Nothing about the consistency will change & they’ll still be delicious. Though if we’re being honest- the cinnamon is one of my favorite parts about these babies.
  • The “Cook Time” is listed as 10 minutes, which is for one tray of cookies. It will mostly likely take 2 or 3 trays, so about 30 minutes of total cook time, for you to use all of the dough (depending on the size of your trays).
