Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies
Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies are rich, soft, chewy, and loaded with melty dark chocolate in every bite. They’re jumbo bakery-style cookies with crisp edges and gooey centers that chocolate lovers will obsess over.
Servings: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup salted butter softened at room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 whole large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup dark chocolate chunks- roughly chopped with big and small chunks 2 -3.5 ounce bars (use high quality if possible)
- flaky sea salt optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside. With an electric mixer in a large bowl or in the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract. Beat until combined.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and baking powder.
- Add the flour mixture to the wet mixture and mix together until cookie dough is formed, scraping down the sides of a bowl with a spatula occasionally. Do not over-mix.
- Add the chopped dark chocolate chunks and mix until incorporated.
- With a large cookie scoop or ice cream scoop, equivalent to 1/4 cup, scoop cookie dough into balls and place on the prepared cookie sheets. *Optional, add more chopped chocolate piecess to the tops of the cookies to look extra pretty.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven and top with flaky sea salt (optional) let cool on the cookie sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Enjoy!
