Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookies





Hello, my name is Siggy Spice, and I am a big-ol'-cheater. 
Do you cheat on your favorites?  Favorite recipe that is.  Do you still try to find a better version?  A grass is greener on the other side version?
I do.
My recipes can't expect monogamy.  What if a dash of this, or a pinch of that changes everything?
Well, can I tell you.  I pinched....and it was AH-mazing.  Life changing even.
On top of my pinch, I was lazy and wanted to try a shortcut.  And ohhhh, that shortcut.  It was oh-so-short.  Like, my dough was ready to go before the oven was even pre-heated, short.  That shortcut made me feel like a cheater on a whole new level.
My family is in on this as well.  They agree that they have never tasted anything as soft, chewy, and with a pop of wow like these little gems.
Try these.  Please.  Don't let me stew in my guilt alone.



Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookies
Recipe ever so slightly adapted by:  Six Sisters Stuff

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 2 1/2 cups Bisquick baking mix
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • Sea Salt - just a sprinkle, not even a pinch for each cookie.  I used my Pink Himalayan Sea Salt grinder and just ground a wee-bit onto each cookie.
 
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  In a large mixing bowl, combine softened butter, brown sugar, vanilla, and egg.  Fold in Bisquick baking mix.  Stir in chocolate chips.  Use 1" cookie scoop to form cookie balls and place on ungreased cookie sheets.  Sprinkle or grind not even a pinch of Sea Salt onto each cookie.  Bake 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
