Ingredients:

1 cup dark chocolate
230g
1/2 cup milk chocolate
120g
1.50 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
190g
1/2 cup dry cocoa powder
72g
1 cup brown sugar
230g
2/3 cup butter
150g
3 eggs
150g
1 tsp salt
5g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
2. Melt the Chocolate:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark and milk chocolates. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt until well combined.
4. Prepare Sugar and Butter Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
5. Add Eggs:
- Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Continue to beat until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
6. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the melted chocolate to the wet mixture, mixing well to combine. Once the chocolate is fully incorporated, slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
7. Scoop Dough:
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop the dough by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake Cookies:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
9. Cool and Serve:
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Final Touch:
- Once the cookies are completely cool, sprinkle a little bit of flaky sea salt on top of each cookie for an extra burst of flavor.

Tips:

- Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of your chocolate can make a big difference in the final flavor of your cookies. Opt for high-quality dark and milk chocolate for the best results.

- Room temperature ingredients: Ensure that your butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start mixing. This helps create a smooth, well-incorporated dough.

- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing can lead to tough cookies. Mix until the ingredients are just combined for a tender texture.

- Chill the dough: Refrigerating the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking can help prevent the cookies from spreading too much and improve their texture.

- Properly measure ingredients: Accurately measure your ingredients using a kitchen scale for consistency. This is especially important for flour and cocoa powder.

- Use parchment paper: Lining your baking sheet with parchment paper prevents sticking and makes for easier cleanup.

- Sprinkle salt after baking: For a more pronounced salt flavor and a decorative touch, sprinkle a small amount of flaky sea salt on top of the cookies right after they come out of the oven.

Salted chocolate cookies are an irresistible treat that combines the best of both worlds: rich, sweet chocolate and a touch of savory saltiness. By following this simple recipe, you'll be able to create cookies that are not only delicious but also impressive to serve. Enjoy them with a cold glass of milk or your favorite cup of coffee for a delightful dessert experience.
