Instructions

1

Prepare the oven and baking sheet

Preheat the oven and line a baking sheet so the cookies bake evenly and release cleanly.

The oven should be fully preheated before the cookies go in.
2

Mix the dry ingredients

Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.

Whisking the dry ingredients helps distribute the leavening evenly.

Cream the butter and sugars

Beat the softened butter with both sugars until light and fluffy, then mix in the egg and vanilla.

5 min
The mixture should look pale and slightly fluffy, not greasy.
4

Finish the dough

Fold the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, then stir in the chocolate chunks. Do not overmix.

4 min
Stop mixing as soon as no dry flour remains to keep the cookies tender.

Portion and bake
