Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar, packed
½ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cornstarch (for extra thickness)
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped dark chocolate chunks (optional, for gooey centers)
Instructions
In a large bowl, cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cornstarch.
Slowly add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Fold in chocolate chips and dark chocolate chunks.
Scoop out large portions of dough (about ¼ cup each) and place on a lined baking sheet. Chill for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 12–14 minutes, until golden brown at edges but soft in the center.
Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Chilling the dough helps keep the cookies ultra-thick and chewy.
Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking for a gourmet touch.
For softer centers, slightly underbake and let cookies finish setting on the tray.
