Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup (100 g) light brown sugar, packed
  • ¼ cup (85 g) honey
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ¾ cups (219 g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup (170 g) semi-sweet chocolate chunks
  • Flaky sea salt, for topping

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a stand mixer, beat softened butter, brown sugar, and honey until smooth.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until incorporated.
  4. Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chunks.
  7. Scoop 2-tablespoon portions onto prepared baking sheets, 2-3 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until edges are golden and centers are slightly underbaked.

Notes

- Use room temperature butter and egg for a smooth, emulsified dough that bakes evenly.
- Do not overmix the dough after adding flour; mix just until combined to keep the cookies tender.
- Bake until edges are golden but centers are still slightly soft; they will firm up as they cool, ensuring a chewy texture.
- Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, freeze the scooped dough balls on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Bake from frozen, adding a minute or two to the bake time.
