Instructions
- Preparing the Dough:
-
Step 1- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
Step 2- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
-
Step 3- Cream Butter and Sugars: In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium-high speed until well combined and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, then add in the vanilla and beat until combined. Gradually beat in the flour mixture on low speed until combined. Beat in the chocolate chips and half the chunks.
-
Step 4- Form Dough Balls: Weigh out 1/4 cup (4 ounces or 113 gram) portions of dough and roll into an even ball. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing far apart. Bake 6 cookies per pan. Press chocolate chunks into the top of each ball of dough.
-
Step 5- Bake Cookies: Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cookies are slightly browned at the edges and puffy. Bake longer for crispier, chewier cookies, bake less for ooey gooey cookies. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if desired.
-
Step 6- Cool and Store: Cookies will deflate slightly as they cool. They are best the day they are baked but may be stored in an airtight container for 2 days.

Cooking techniques
Beating the butter and sugars together creates a fluffy base that adds to the cookies' texture. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect, chewy consistency.
Variations or substitutions
Feel free to swap the semisweet chocolate for dark chocolate or even add nuts for some crunch. You can also use brown sugar substitutes for a different flavor profile!
Storage tips
To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They are best enjoyed within 2 days but can also be frozen for longer storage.
Notes
For an extra touch, consider adding some chopped nuts or using a mix of chocolate types for varied flavor!
