Description
Thick, gooey, and packed with dark chocolate chunks, these ultimate chunky chocolate chip cookies are bakery-style perfection in every bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups dark chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until combined. Fold in chocolate chunks.
- Using a cookie scoop, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart. Optionally, press a few extra chocolate chunks on top.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until edges are golden and centers are slightly soft.
- Remove from oven, sprinkle with flaky salt if desired, and let cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes to prevent excessive spreading.
- Use high-quality chocolate chunks for better melt and flavor.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness for days.
