Sweet and salty – in a chocolate chip cookie? Please don’t give me that look. To me, sweet and salty is like yin and yang – they go together hand in hand. Trust me when I say that this can only be made better if I add a little Captain Morgan to this mix. The original recipe suggested that I add unsalted peanuts but since I didn’t have any on hand, I decided to forgo that idea and just kept it simple. This is a chocolate chip cookie recipe that will have everyone wondering why the cookie just tastes so good. Don’t worry – I won’t tell them the secret ingredient if you won’t.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all purpose flour (about 4 1/2 ounces)
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/4 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 large3 egg
- 1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 tsp. course sea salt
- Cooking spray
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Weigh or lightly spoon the flour into a measuring cup and level with a knife.
- Sift the flour, baking powder and baking soda together into a medium bowl.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together, with a handheld mixer at medium speed until well blended.
- Add the vanilla and egg to the butter & sugar mixture until combined.
- Add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture, beating it at low speed until blended. Do not over mix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and salt into the batter.
- Drop the dough with either a small ice cream scoop or teaspoons onto baking sheets that have been either sprayed lightly with cooking spray or on a silpat.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes until the edges are lightly browned and crisp.
- Cool the baked cookies on the pan for 5 minutes, and remove to cool completely on wire racks.
- Enjoy!

Oh these sound wonderful. I'm all about the sweet & salty!
Confession: Not a big fan of chocolate chip cookies.
However, if sent to me, I would eat them without complaint.
I have to agree with Sharon. I do not like chocolate covered pretzels so I assume I may not like these…but I would be certainly happy to give them a try!
