Straight from Baked to your kitchen, this crowd-pleasing recipe offers an elevated, supremely satisfying take on the classic chocolate chip cookie. The base is pure brown-sugar-molasses perfection, studded generously with gorgeous chunks of Valrhona chocolate from France. The proverbial cherry on top: a sprinkling of Bitterman’s flake salt, which adds wonderful depth of flavor to every bite.

Baked NYC specializes in (even obsesses about) all manner of baking Americana. Baked started as a classic American bakery and café based in Red Hook, Brooklyn, where they create a vast array of cakes, cookies, pies, tarts, muffins, scones, bars, brownies and even more sweet treats. They’re not just bakers, they’re dessert archeologists—digging and researching and eating their way through the classic, regional desserts of America.
