- Arrange racks in top and bottom thirds of oven. Preheat to 350 deg F (175 deg C). Line two baking sheets with parchment.
- Whisk together flour, 1/2 tsp sea salt, baking powder and soda; set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat butter with sugars and honey on medium-high speed until very pale and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl. Beat in egg and vanilla, then flour mixture until a smooth dough forms. Stir in chocolate until combined.
- Using a standard ice cream scoop (about ¼ cup in size), scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches (5 cm) apart. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 tsp sea salt.
