Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Ingredients
1/2 lb. unsalted butter at room temp.
1 C brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 extra large eggs at room temp
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp kosher salt
1 1/2 bags Ghirardelli semisweet chocolate chunks
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla, then the eggs, one at a time, and mix well. Sift together flour, baking soda and salt and add to the butter with the mixer on low speed, until combined. Lastly fold in the chocolate chunks.
Drop dough on parchment-lined baking sheets. Use a 1 3/4 inch diameter ice cream scoop for best results, or a rounded tablespoon will work in a pinch. Dampen hands and flatten dough balls slightly. Bake 10-12 minutes. The cookies will appear underdone, but don't be fooled. Remove from oven, let cool on the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Makes 3 dozen cookies.
