Description
These Double Chocolate Chunk Cookies feature a soft, chewy center with chunks of dark chocolate and milk chocolate chips, making them a delightful treat for any chocolate lover.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped dark chocolate
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chopped dark chocolate and milk chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For a different flavor, try using white chocolate chips or adding nuts. Ensure butter is softened for easy mixing. Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking can enhance the flavor and texture.
