Ooey Gooey Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
  
• 1 teaspoon salt
  
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  
• 1 cup light brown sugar
  
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  
• 2 large eggs
  
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  
• 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chunks or chips
  

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

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

4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, until well combined.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

6. Fold in the semisweet chocolate chunks or chips with a spatula or wooden spoon.

7. Scoop rounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft and gooey.

9. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
