Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then blend in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Slowly introduce the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chunks with a spatula.
  6. Drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each mound. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and centers are soft.
  7. Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
