Steps
Place butter in a heatproof bowl and heat in the microwave until JUST melted. You don’t want the butter to be hot, but just soft enough to stir with a fork until smooth.
Add sugars, vanilla and egg and stir until smooth. Add flour, baking soda and salt and stir until soft cookie dough forms. Add chocolate chips and stir until combined.
Chill cookie dough in the fridge for AT LEAST one hour. Or speed up the process by freezing the dough for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F) standard / 160 C (320 F) fan-forced. Line two baking trays with baking or parchment paper.
Roll balls of cookie dough, approximately 1.5 tablespoons each, using your hands and place on prepared oven trays, leaving room for the cookie to spread.
Bake cookies for 10-11 minutes. While the cookies are still warm, add a few extra chocolate chips on top. Sprinkle cookies with sea salt.
