Instructions

Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line two baking trays with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, beat together cold butter and brown sugar until combined. Add vanilla extract and the cold egg; mix until just incorporated.
Gradually add flour, cornflour, baking soda, and optional salt. Mix on low speed until a soft dough forms. Gently fold in chopped chocolate and walnuts.
Using a cookie scoop, portion about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie onto prepared trays with space between each.
Bake for 12-14 minutes until golden brown. Let cool before sprinkling sea salt flakes on top.
