Step One. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine the butter and sugars until creamy. Slowly add in one egg at a time to the mixture, as well as the vanilla and molasses. Make sure to scrape down the bowl and combine the ingredients well.
Step Two. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step Three. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet mixture, again scraping down the sides and incorporating the ingredients well. Mix in the chocolate chips last.
Step Four. Place a sheet of parchment paper on a cookie sheet. Make 2 tablespoon size balls of dough and place them at least 3 inches apart on the cookie sheet. Now for the secret ingredient...top each cookie dough ball with a little sprinkle of salt. (I know it sounds crazy, but just trust me on this one!)
Step Five. Bake for 9-11 minutes, turning the pan around halfway through.
