Ingredients

Scale

2 cups + 2 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons molasses

2 sticks (1 cup) butter, room temperature

2 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

3 cups all purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips

Flaky sea salt

Instructions

In a bowl with an electric mixer combine the sugar and molasses 

Add in the butter and cream together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes

Add in the eggs and vanilla extract and mix until combined

To the wet ingredients add in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined

Add in the chocolate chips and mix to combine. Make sure you don’t overmix!

Put the dough into the fridge to chill for at least an hour

Once chilled, preheat your oven to 350

Take 1-2 tablespoons of the dough, roll them, and put on a parchment lined sheet tray. Make sure you leave enough space because they do spread quite a bit!

Put into the preheated oven and bake until slightly golden brown about 11-13 minutes

Once cooked sprinkled a little flaky sea salt to the top *optional but highly recommended*

Let cool slightly before eating!
