A crispy grilled cookie with a blistered surface and warm, chewy center, finished with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt for a perfect sweet-salty balance. Ideal for summer gatherings and quick homemade treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened but not melted
  • ½ cup (100g) packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, beat softened unsalted butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  4. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips gently with a spatula.
  6. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium heat (about 350°F / 175°C). Lightly oil the grates or pan to prevent sticking.
  7. Using a tablespoon or small ice cream scoop, form dough balls and flatten slightly. Place on the grill, spacing apart.
  8. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side until grill marks appear and surface is golden and blistered. Flip gently.
  9. Immediately after removing from grill, sprinkle each cookie with flaky sea salt.
  10. Transfer cookies to a cooling rack and let rest for 5 minutes to set crispy edges. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Use softened, not melted, butter for best texture. Preheat grill to medium heat and oil grates to prevent sticking. Flatten dough balls slightly for even cooking. Sprinkle flaky sea salt immediately after grilling for best flavor. If no grill is available, a cast-iron skillet can be used but will lack smoky flavor and grill marks. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days and reheat briefly on a grill pan or toaster oven to restore crispiness.
