Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
• 8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped into chunks
• Sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions:

Before you start cooking, heat the oven to 375F 190C

Put parchment paper on baking sheets

Melt the butter and mix it with the white sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy

Adding the eggs one at a time and mixing them in is the next step

Mix the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a different bowl

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and mix them together until they are just combined

Cut up the dark chocolate chunks and thyme leaves into small pieces and mix them in

Round tablespoons of dough should be dropped onto the baking sheets that have been prepared, leaving some space between each cookie

Add a little sea salt to the top of each cookie

Put it in an oven that is already hot and bake it for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the middle is still soft

Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets before moving them to a wire rack to cool all the way
