  • Whisk flour, baking soda, and kosher salt together in a medium bowl.
  • Combine brown sugar, butter, and white sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add espresso, egg, and vanilla extract; beat until combined and smooth, about 1 minute more.
  • Gradually beat in the dry ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix the batter. Fold in chocolate chunks. Let chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Using a spoon or 1-ounce ice cream scoop, roll chilled dough into 1-inch balls. Place on the prepared baking sheets at least 2 inches apart. Sprinkle each ball with a pinch of flaky salt.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until just beginning to turn golden brown around the edges, about 10 minutes. Let cool on the trays for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
