Ingrédients oh Chocolate Chunk Cookies

• 225 g unsalted butter, softened
• 150 g brown sugar
• 100 g granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 300 g all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• 200 g semi-sweet chocolate chips (or chunks)
• Optional: 50 g chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans).

Instructions

1. Prepare the dough:
   • In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
   • Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
2. Combine dry ingredients:
   • In another bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
   • Fold in the chocolate chips (and nuts, if using) with a spatula.
3. Chill the dough:
   • Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 24 hours for better flavor and texture).
4. Preheat the oven:
   • Heat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
5. Shape and bake:
   • Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
   • Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look slightly undercooked.
6. Cool the cookies:
   • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips for Success:

• Room temperature butter ensures even mixing.
• Chilling the dough prevents the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
• For gooey centers, slightly underbake and let them set on the tray.
