Preparation
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sugars, salt, and butter until a paste forms with no lumps.
- Whisk in the egg and vanilla, beating until light ribbons fall off the whisk and remain for a short while before falling back into the mixture.
- Sift in the flour and baking soda, then fold the mixture with a spatula (Be careful not to overmix, which would cause the gluten in the flour to toughen resulting in cakier cookies).
- Fold in the chocolate chunks, then chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. For a more intense toffee-like flavor and deeper color, chill the dough overnight. The longer the dough rests, the more complex its flavor will be.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop the dough with an ice-cream scoop onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, leaving at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space between cookies and 2 inches (5 cm) of space from the edges of the pan so that the cookies can spread evenly.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges have started to barely brown.
- Cool completely before serving.
- Enjoy!

I love this recipe so much!! I am NEVER using chocolate chips ever again! These cookies are decadent, chewy, and oh so delicious! I used light brown sugar and salted butter. I highly recommend this recipe to any chocolate chip cookie lover!

if the cookies get hard, store them in and airtight bag or container with a slice of bread and they will become soft again soon

I bake them for 5 minutes less to avoid over cooking as they’re cooling. This ensures they will still be soft after even a week of storage (if they last that long).

The cookies were so delicious 😋 They were a little bigger than expected. I put the cookies on a nonstick pan instead of parchment paper and they still turned out fine. 😍 They were really easy to make. I’m 12 😂 100% I’d make again!
