Time 45m

Yield About 3 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
⅔ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup (packed) dark brown sugar (fine to substitute light)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2½ cups all purpose flour, spooned and leveled (preferably King Arthur flour - see note)
6 oz bittersweet chocolate, best quality such as Ghriardelli, roughly chopped
2 oz milk chocolate, best quality such as Ghirardelli, finely chopped

Steps:

  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and both sugars for 3 minutes, or until light, fluffy, and cafe au lait-colored (use high speed on a hand mixer and medium speed on a stand mixer). Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as necessary. Add the vanilla and eggs and beat for 2 minutes more. Scrape down the bowl. Add the salt and baking soda and beat briefly until evenly combined. Add the flour and both chocolates, and mix on low speed until the flour is completely blended and the chocolate is evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or scrape the dough into an airtight container and let rest in the refrigerator until firm, a few hours. (Alternatively, if you don't want to wait, form the dough into balls on the baking sheet as instructed below and chill in the fridge until firm, about 30 minutes.)
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and set a rack in the middle position. Line a 13 x 18-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Drop the dough in firmly packed 1.5-tablespoon balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. (I use a #40/1.5-T cookie scoop with a wire trigger.) Bake for 11 to 13 minutes, until golden around the edges but still soft and pale in the center. Let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining cookie dough. The cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Note: Some readers have had issues with the cookies being flat. This can happen as a result of using a "softer" flour. I highly recommend King Arthur All Purpose Flour for this recipe -- it's high in protein and gluten, and helps cookies hold their shape.
  • Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The cookie dough can be frozen for up to 3 months. Roll the dough into balls, let set on a baking sheet in the freezer, then place in a sealable bag and press out as much air as possible. Bake as needed directly from the freezer. (Allow 1 to 2 minutes longer in the oven.) The baked cookies can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Let the cookies cool completely and store in an airtight container separating layers with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Before serving, remove the cookies from the container and let them come to room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The chocolate is the star of the show in these cookies, so it's important to use a good quality chocolate that you enjoy the taste of. Use a chocolate that is at least 60% cocoa solids for the best flavor.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough helps the cookies to spread less and keep their shape better in the oven. You can chill the dough for up to 3 days in advance.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature. Baking the cookies at a high temperature helps them to develop a crispy exterior and a gooey interior.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help the cookies to keep their shape and flavor.

Conclusion:

These chocolate chunk cookies are the perfect treat for any chocolate lover. They are soft and chewy with a gooey chocolate center. They are also very easy to make, so they are perfect for beginner bakers. If you are looking for a delicious and easy chocolate cookie recipe, then you need to try these cookies.
