About this Recipe
These cookies are a delightful twist on classic chocolate chip cookies, with the added warmth and flavour of saffron and a touch of sea salt for a hint of savoury goodness. I hope you enjoy baking and savouring these delicious treats!
For a chewy consistency it is best to leave the dough for a few hours in the fridge before baking. It is possible to leave the dough overnight in the fridge. Enjoy your saffron sea salt chocolate chip cookies with a nice cup of tea or with a hot cup of coffee.

Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
Step 3
Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Sprinkle a pinch of saffron sea salt flakes on top of each cookie dough mound.
Step 4
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Step 5
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your saffron sea salt chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk or your favourite hot beverage!
