How to Make Chocolate Chunk Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Stir in 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chunks (or freshly chopped chocolate for extra richness).
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 10-13 minutes for smaller cookies or 14-18 minutes for larger cookies, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
