These cookies are a delightful twist on the classic chocolate chunk cookie, featuring a rich chocolate flavor and a soft, chewy texture.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Sifting the dry ingredients ensures a smooth and even mixture.
In a large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy.
Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
Mixing thoroughly at this stage ensures a uniform flavor.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
Fold in the chocolate chunks evenly throughout the dough.
Reserve a few chunks to place on top of the cookies for a professional look.
Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 3 inches apart.
Using a cookie scoop ensures evenly sized cookies.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, until the edges are set and the tops appear slightly cracked.
Check the cookies a minute or two early to avoid overbaking.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling on the baking sheet allows the cookies to firm up slightly.
Serve the cookies with your favorite beverage and enjoy!
Pair with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee for a delightful treat.
