Yield Makes 10 five-inch cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup packed dark-brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
10 ounces milk chocolate, cut into 1/2-inch chunks (2 cups)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment, and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the butter and vanilla; beat until fluffy. Add both sugars, and beat until light. Add the egg, and beat until combined. Add the reserved dry ingredients; beat on low speed just until combined. Stir in the chocolate chunks. Form dough into a ball, and cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Remove dough from refrigerator. Using an ice-cream scoop, shape dough into 2-inch-diameter balls. Place balls on prepared baking sheets, spaced 4 inches apart. Flatten each ball into a 3-inch-diameter disk. Chill until firm.
  • Transfer to oven, and bake until edges are golden but centers are still soft, 15 to 17 minutes. Remove from oven, and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container up to 2 days.
