Indulge in the sublime experience of our iconic Salted Chocolate Chip Cookies – towering, bakery-fresh confections boasting crispy, golden edges that give way to a velvety-soft center, replete with rich chocolate chips and finished with a delicate sprinkle of flaky sea salt.

Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookies

If you’ve had the pleasure of indulging in a sublime Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookie from La Grande Orange Cafe, you may well understand my unbridled enthusiasm for these treats.

While enjoying brunch with a friend, I had the pleasure of sampling their signature salted chocolate chip cookies just a few weeks prior. I was blown away. I bake exceptional cookies, and this particular one was truly remarkable. 

The relentless pursuit of the perfect cookie has yielded a remarkable outcome: I’m thoroughly enamored with this recreated Salted Chocolate Chip Cookie formula.

Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies

Repeatedly testing both gluten-free and traditional recipes within a span of less than two weeks, I’ve had the pleasure of perfecting these cookies to rave reviews from all who’ve indulged in their deliciousness. 

Is this cookie really a culinary masterpiece that surpasses all others in your sweet-toothed experience? While I appreciate the sentiment, consider rephrasing for greater clarity and impact:

The cookie’s size has a direct impact on its texture. To achieve a giant bakery-style cookie with a satisfying crunch on the outside and a tender, chewy interior, it’s crucial to adhere strictly to the recipe and bake massive cookies. Three cookies to a baking sheet? Can’t you spare more than that?

Without the giant cookie, achieving perfection in texture seems impossible. Trust me on that, okay? While I enjoyed the bite-sized treats, the colossal cookies truly stole the show with their rich flavors and satisfying texture.

What kitchen essentials do you rely on? I always use my trusty scoop, dependable baking sheet, and efficient cooling racks when whipping up this recipe.

Salted Chocolate Chip Cookies

To prepare this dish, you’ll require the following essential components:

• light brown sugar
• butter
• eggs
• vanilla extract
• all-purpose flour
• old fashioned rolled oats
• baking soda
• kosher salt
• semi-sweet chocolate chips
• Maldon flaked sea salt, a prized choice for its delicate crunch and nuanced flavor profile.

Salt On Chocolate Chip Cookies

The quality of the finishing salt plays a crucial role in this process. While simplicity is the hallmark of my baking arsenal, one luxury I do indulge in is the subtle yet unmistakable flavor that Maldon flaked sea salt brings to these cookies.

While you may find this product in certain grocery stores, I highly recommend purchasing it on Amazon for significantly better deals. While I guarantee the benefits of investing in this product, I also acknowledge that alternative options can still yield satisfactory results: a high-quality salt, such as flaky sea salt or kosher salt, would be acceptable substitutes.

Carefully sprinkle the salt on the cookies to avoid overwhelming their sweetness, as small salt grains can swiftly transform them into an overly salty treat rather than imparting a subtle hint of saltiness.

If you’re not a chocolate enthusiast, consider trying our Coconut Lover’s Oatmeal Cookies and Almond Shortbread Thumbprint Cookies for a delightful alternative.

Consider indulging in our selection of delectable cookie alternatives that eschew chocolate for an equally satisfying experience – the Iced Caramel Toffee Oatmeal Cookies and Double Vanilla Delight Sugar Cookies are highly recommended for their unique flavor profiles. I’ve pinned both of these scrumptious cookie recipes to my Can’t Wait to Eat This board on Pinterest!
