I am just going to warn you right now: these are seriously addicting!! If the sweet and salty combo isn’t enough, the buttery, perfectly chewy texture is enough to have you going back for seconds…or fifths!!
I have a recipe on here on How to Make Soft, Thick, Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies. They are extremely popular. They get rave reviews. They have been my go-to cookie for years.
But when you’re in the mood for a thin, crispy on the edges, chewy cookie – today’s recipe is your answer!!
I used milk chocolate chips because they are sweeter than the usual semi sweet chips, and since I knew I was going to add the sea salt, they were the perfect choice to give a balanced flavor.
These cookies disappeared faster than any cookie I’ve made in a long time. I wondered if my kids would like them with the sea salt…they did. They really did. And my hubby and I couldn’t keep our hands out of the cookie jar either.
These Chewy Milk Chocolate Sea Salt Cookies have earned a permanent place in our cookie rotation! I hope you give them a try!

I made these cookies yesterday out of boredom, a couple of friends came over last night and the cookies a hit! Had to hide a few to give my boyfriend today!
I made my cookies bigger (I used an ice cream scoop) so I got 27 cookies and they had to bake for a little longer. Definitely putting this recipe down in a book! Thanks! xx

How much milk chocolate chips would you use if one was to leave out the mini chips?
Stephanie Brubaker says
Hi Marcy! I would use a total of 2 cups of the milk chocolate chips. Enjoy!
