Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chunks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together on medium speed for 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Gently fold in the chocolate chunks with your spatula until evenly distributed.
Scoop large, rounded tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheet. Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look soft.
Allow cookies to sit on the hot pan for 5 minutes to set before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze the dough balls for up to 3 months for fresh-baked cookies anytime.
