Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups milk chocolate or assorted candy bars (chopped into chunks)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
Fold in the chopped candy bar pieces, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a large cookie scoop or 1/4-cup measuring cup, scoop the dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them at least 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Lightly press down on each dough ball to flatten slightly.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 11-13 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look just set.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
