How to Make Chocolate Chunk Cookies One Bowl

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, partially melt 1 cup of chocolate chunks in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, for a total of 3-4 minutes on high power. Watch carefully to avoid burning!
  3. Add 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, 2 large eggs, 2 cups all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon baking powder to the bowl with the melted chocolate. Mix until just combined. The batter will be quite thin.
  4. Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips and ½ cup chopped pecans (optional).
  5. Drop by heaping tablespoons onto an ungreased baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 12-13 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft. Start checking at 10 minutes.
