Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup white sugar
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 (8-ounce) block dark chocolate, coarsely chopped

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper. Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt into a medium bowl and set aside.

Place the butter, sugar, and brown sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer; cream together on medium speed until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Beat in the vanilla and eggs. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and continue to mix until a smooth batter forms. Turn off the mixer and fold in the chocolate chunks using the spatula.

To form the cookies, scoop about 1/4 cup of cookie dough into your hands and roll it around into a ball; place them about 3-inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets; you should get about 4 cookies on each pan. Press down the tops of the dough slightly and bake until the cookies are light brown, 12 minutes for chewy cookies, or about 15 minutes for crispy cookies.

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough/cookie sheets.

A Keeper!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Nice and puffy, so yummy! These were a hit with my husband and brothers. I did make a few changes. I used 1/2c butter and... 1/2c of crisco. Then I used splenda instead of white sugar. I used semi sweet chips just because that's what I had handy. No one could tell these had splenda. I'll certainly make them again.Read more

Loved the crispy outside, tender inside. I made traditional size cookies using regular, semi-sweet chocolate chips and got 3... dozen cookies. Thanks, Tyler!! Your recipes are always user friendly, and I can always count on them to turn out great!!Read more

Yummy, not as amazing as I expected.
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

After reading the comments, I thought these cookies would blow my mind. They were quite tasty, but they seemed pretty normal... to me. However, my husband, who doesn't like chocolate chip cookies, said they were delicious. So, I think the recipe is a keeper.Read more
