Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chunks
- 1 teaspoon optional flaky sea salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chunks until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
If desired, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top of each cookie for added flavor.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cookies warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
