  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups dark chocolate chunks

Directions

  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in the dark chocolate chunks until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

  9. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Serve and enjoy!

Interesting Facts

  • The first chocolate chip cookie was invented by Ruth Graves Wakefield in the 1930s. She ran out of baker's chocolate and substituted it with chopped-up semi-sweet chocolate, which did not melt completely, resulting in the creation of the classic chocolate chip cookie.
  • The largest chocolate chip cookie ever made was over 100 feet in diameter and weighed over 40,000 pounds. It was baked in 2003 by the Immaculate Baking Company in Flat Rock, North Carolina.
