These fudgy sea salt brownie chunk cookies combine a rich, chewy brownie base with generous dark chocolate chunks and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt for the perfect sweet and salty treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup (165g) light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ cups (160g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • ½ cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-processed preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups (260g) dark chocolate chunks (60-70% cocoa)
  • Flaky sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes using a mixer on medium speed.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract. Mix just until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or folding gently until just combined. The dough will be thick and fudgy.
  6. Fold in the dark chocolate chunks evenly without overmixing.
  7. Using a medium cookie scoop or two spoons, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  8. Lightly sprinkle flaky sea salt over each cookie.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set and slightly crisp but centers look soft and underbaked. Avoid overbaking.
  10. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the dough to avoid cakey cookies. Chill dough for 15-20 minutes if cookies spread too thin. Use chunks instead of chips for better melty pockets. Remove cookies when edges are set but centers still look soft; they firm up while cooling. Store in airtight container up to 4 days or freeze up to 3 months.
