Ingredients:

5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
3 tablespoons vegetable shortening
1 cup dark brown sugar (tightly packed)
1 large egg (room temperature)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups dark chocolate chips
Sea salt for garnish
Instructions:

Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream the Butter and Shortening:
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and vegetable shortening until smooth and fluffy.
Add Sugar and Egg:
Mix in the tightly packed dark brown sugar until well combined. Then, add the room temperature egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Fold in Chocolate Chips:
Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop the Cookies:
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop generous portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are still soft.
Garnish:
Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of each cookie for that perfect finishing touch.
Cool and Enjoy:
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
