Irresistible Double Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Ingredients

- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped into chunks
- 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped into chunks

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Cream the Butter and Sugars:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until creamy and well-blended, about 3-4 minutes. Use a hand mixer on medium speed or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment.

3. Add the Wet Ingredients:
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract until incorporated.

4. Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

5. Mix the Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing, which can make the cookies tough.

6. Fold in the Chocolate Chunks:
Gently fold the dark and semi-sweet chocolate chunks into the dough using a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed.

7. Form the Cookies:
Using a cookie scoop or large spoon, portion out heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each ball for spreading.

8. Bake the Cookies:
Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the centers are set but still soft.

9. Cool the Cookies:
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
