How many of you out there are thinking, "You want me to put smoked salt in a cookie? That's crazy-talk!" The only thing crazy about this recipe is forgetting to buy milk (or your favorite chocolate stout) to go along with these irresistible cookies!

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened to room temperature
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons hot water
½ tsp Fisherman’s Kitchen Alder smoked sea salt, plus more to sprinkle on top
3 cups all-purpose flour (we're big fans of Bob’s Red Mill Brand)
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (more or less to your taste)

Let's Make It!

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix up room temperature butter, white sugar and brown sugar until mixture is smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Stir in the vanilla.

Step 2

Dissolve baking soda in hot water and add to batter along with smoked sea salt.
Stir in flour and chocolate chips.

Step 3

Cover bowl and chill for at least 30 minutes. While dough is chillin', preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 4

Once dough is chilled, drop by large spoonfuls onto un-greased pans (keep cookies about 2 inches apart); Sprinkle additional Smoked Sea Salt on top of cookies.

Step 5

Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until cookie edges are lightly golden brown and tops of look a little underdone (they will continue to cook a bit while cooling).

Step 6
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to finish cooling.

Grand Finale

Enjoy with tall glass of milk, or a pint of your favorite chocolate stout!
