Ingredients

Directions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2: In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3: Beat in egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5: Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Don't overmix.

Step 6: Fold in chocolate chunks until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.

Step 8: Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden but centers still look slightly underdone.

Step 9: Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.

Chef's Tip: For chewier cookies, slightly underbake them. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Dough can be refrigerated overnight for even better flavor.
