How to Make It

Let’s dive into the baking process.

1. Preheat

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking.

2. Cream

Cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, which should take about 3-4 minutes.

3. Add

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, and beat until fully incorporated.

4. Combine

Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually blend this dry mixture into the wet mixture until just combined.

5. Fold

Fold in the semisweet chocolate chunks evenly throughout the dough.

6. Scoop

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving enough space between each cookie to allow for spreading.

7. Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

8. Cool

Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

How to Store It

Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Freezer: Yes, freeze for long-term storage.
Reheat: Microwave for 10-15 seconds.
