4
step
Set 1/2 cup of chocolate chips aside and add 1 cup to the dough. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix.
5
step
Split dough into 6. Roll the dough in to form a sphere, then lightly push your hands together so that the dough is a little bit taller than it is wide.
6
step
Place dough on a lined baking sheet, leaving at least 2 inches of space between each cookie. Put in the refrigerator for at least one hour (or up to 24 hours) to chill.
7
step
Preheat your oven to 325°F and bake for 12-14 minutes. The cookies should be very slightly underdone.
8
step
Grab a handful of chocolate chips and lightly press them into the top of the just-baked cookie.
9
step
Sprinkle each cookie with sea salt and let cool at least one hour before digging in. Enjoy!
