Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Cream Butter and Sugars

    In another bowl, cream the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Eggs and Vanilla

    Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then add the vanilla extract and mix until smooth.

  5. 5

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

  6. 6

    Fold in Chocolate Chunks

    Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chunks until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Baking

  1. 7

    Form the Cookies

    Using a large cookie scoop or your hands, form the dough into giant balls (about 1/4 cup each) and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 3 inches apart.

  2. 8

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.

  3. 9

    Cool

    Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
