Chocolate chip cookies with melted butter

These are pretty good--but as I made them here in France with slightly different ingredients than back in the US (butter, flour, and vanilla are not the same), I'll rate it once I try it back there, as it's super easy and quick, makes a nice, small batch.  I must have made the cookies smaller than the original recipe, as I ended up with 30 rather than 20. 


Ingredients:

1/2 c. unsalted butter, heated until just melted
1/2 c. brown sugar, packed
1/4 c. sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour (this time I used half type 55 and half type 65)
1/2 c. chocolate chips
optional: flaky sea salt, for garnish (I did not use this time, but I think it would make a good accompaniment)

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 350°F.  Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Whisk the butter together with the two sugars until well combined.


3. Let mixture cool for a minute, then whisk in the egg and vanilla.


4. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt atop the mixture and stir in, followed by the flour.  Stir until fully combined and dough forms consistent texture throughout.


5. Stir in the chocolate chips.  Form the dough into balls (mine were about 1" in diameter), and place on prepared baking sheets 2" apart.



6. Bake for 9-10 min, until edges are golden crisped (middles will look slightly underdone).  Remove from oven and let cool on sheet 5 minutes before transferring to cooling rack.  Enjoy!
