Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture until just combined.
- Fold in Chocolate: Gently fold in the chocolate chunks.
- Shape and Bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden.
- Cool and Serve: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra gooey cookies, slightly underbake and let them cool on the baking sheet.
- Swap chocolate chunks for chips, or mix in white chocolate, nuts, or dried fruit for variety.
- To keep cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for a thicker cookie.
