Using a small cookie dough scoop, drop 1 ½ inch balls of dough on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 9 minutes, or until the edges start to turn a golden brown and the middle is puffed and slightly pale. Don’t over bake!
While the cookies are cooling for 10 minutes (or until set) on the baking sheet, sprinkle with flaked sea salt (see notes for extra tips!). After 10 minutes, remove the cookies to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes
Prep Tips - For easy mixing, soften the butter before you begin. It's okay if some of the butter is slightly melted.Pro Tips - As soon as the cookies are removed from the oven, take a drinking glass or mug and place it over each cookie, and using quick circular motions make each cookie perfectly round. Then add a few chocolate chips to the tops of the cookies and sprinkle with flaked salt. Baking Tips - If using a bigger cookie dough scoop (2 ½ Tablespoons), bake for 11 minutes, or until the edges start to turn a golden brown but the middle is puffed and slightly pale. Don’t overbake! Using this size scoop will make 22 cookies.
