DECADENT, DARK CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES

Category: Cookies

2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
16 tbsp butter
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
12 oz dark chocolate chunks

Preheat oven to 375. In bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt. With electric mixer, beat butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla.

With mixer on low speed, add flour mixture. Beat until just incorporated. With rubber spatula, stir in dark chocolate chunks by hand.

Drop 1/4 cup mounds of dough onto baking sheets, at least 4 inches apart. Bake until golden, 15 to 18 minutes, preferably with convection heat for thorough baking. Cool 2 minutes on baking sheets before transferring to wire racks to cool.
