Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Chocolate chunks (semi-sweet or dark)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated 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.
Fold in the chocolate chunks using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a large cookie scoop or about 1/4 cup of dough per cookie, scoop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them at least 3 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked. Do not overbake, as the cookies will continue to cook as they cool.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm for gooey chocolate perfection or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
