SALTED CHOCOLATE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
• Combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt in a bowl.
• Place butter in a saucepan over low heat and cook until melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Add chocolate chips and stir until completely melted. Remove from the heat.
• Combine brown sugar, white sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Pour a small amount of the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and stir until well combined. Slowly add remaining chocolate mixture, stirring constantly so the eggs don't curdle. Fold in the flour mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
• Drop 6 large scoops of batter about 2 inches apart onto each of the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cookies have spread and flattened to a diameter of 4 1/2 inches or larger, and the tops are crinkled and puffed, 12 to 14 minutes. Immediately sprinkle with sea salt.
• Place baking sheets on a wire rack and cool for 18 to 20 minutes. Remove cookies with a spatula onto serving platter.

SALTED DARK CHOCOLATE AND EARL GREY BUTTERMILK COOKIES

Steps:

• 1. In a pan, melt the butter along with the tea bags. Once melted, cook over medium for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. The butter should be bubbling by the end. 2. Pour butter and tea bags into a heatproof bowl, cover, and let sit for 10-30 minutes (depending on how strong you want the flavor to be). Remove tea bags, squeeze out, and chill butter until it's solid but soft, about 1 hour, before proceeding. 3. In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add cocoa and salt and combine, scraping down the bowl as needed. 4. Add half the flour to the bowl with the mixer on low, then add half the buttermilk. Repeat with the rest. Using a spatula, fold in chocolate chunks. Place dough in the middle of a sheet of wax paper or plastic wrap and form into a disc. Chill for at least 1 hour. 5. Preheat oven to 350°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat. Using lightly floured hands, roll out tablespoon-size balls of dough and place them about an inch or so apart on the baking sheet, pressing lightly to flatten. 6. Bake cookies for 12-15 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes, then carefully move to a wire rack. Cookies should be slightly crisp on the outside and fudgy in the middle when cool. 7. Dust lightly with powdered sugar and serve with big glasses of milk.
