Ingredients
  

Cookie Dough Ingredients
  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour Spoon and level to avoid dry cookies.
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract Using vanilla bean paste can enhance flavor.
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2.5 cups chocolate chunks Mix of milk and dark chocolate for depth.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  2. Once combined, beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda.
  4. Gradually mix this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chunks, reserving a small handful for topping.
  6. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Baking
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Using a 1/3-cup measure or an ice cream scoop, portion the dough into 8 large mounds, spaced 3 inches apart.
  3. Press the reserved chocolate chunks onto the tops of each dough mound.
  4. Bake for 14 to 16 minutes until edges are golden and set, with slightly underbaked centers.
  5. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

These cookies can be served with vanilla ice cream, coffee, or whipped cream. For storage, keep in an airtight container for up to one week, or freeze the dough for up to 3 months.
