Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • ½ pound Unsalted Butter Provides richness and moisture; margarine can be used for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 cup Light Brown Sugar Adds sweetness and moisture, enhancing the chewy texture.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Balances the brown sugar’s depth and helps the cookies spread perfectly.
  • 2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract Enhances the overall flavor; no substitutions recommended for best taste.
  • 2 extra-large Eggs Adds moisture and lift; large eggs can be used as a substitute.
  • ¾ cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder Delivers a rich chocolate flavor; opt for high-quality Dutch-process cocoa.
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Provides structure; a gluten-free flour mix can work as a substitute.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda Acts as a leavening agent, helping the cookies rise.
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt Balances sweetness and enhances flavors beautifully.
  • 1½ pounds Semisweet Chocolate Chunks or Chips These decadent chunks add texture and rich flavor.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In the bowl of your electric mixer, combine the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the pure vanilla extract and two extra-large eggs one at a time. Scrape down the sides and mix until smooth. Gradually add the cocoa powder.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and kosher salt. Set aside.
  5. Reduce mixer speed to low and blend the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture. Fold in the semisweet chocolate chunks.
  6. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space for spreading. Bake for approximately 15 minutes.
  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
