BEST EVER CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. You may need two baking sheets or you can simply bake in batches.
• Sift the flour and baking soda together into medium bowl then set aside. In a second medium bowl, combine the chocolate chunks, chocolate chips, and pecans together and set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugars until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 4-5 minutes. Be sure to stop and scrape down sides of bowl along the way.
• Add in eggs, one at time, beating/scrapping after each addition. Add in vanilla/almond extract.
• On low speed, add in flour mixture, a quarter at a time. Then add in chocolate/nut mixture with the last of the flour mixture and mix everything together until just combined.
• Using a medium-size ice cream scoop, scoop out cookie dough onto a small baking sheet. Freeze the cookie dough that you plan to bake same-day for 10 minutes. To store cookie dough balls for future use, allow to freeze for one hour and then transfer balls into a large resealable bag and keep in the freezer.
• Place desired amount of cookies to bake onto prepared baking sheet with at least 2 inches apart.
• Bake for about 8-10 minutes or until they're browned and crispy at the edges and soft in the middle.
• Remove cookies from oven and immediately and gently slam/drop baking sheet onto counter surface to let the chocolate chunks pool out. I usually do this one, maybe, two times. No need to fret if you don't see as many chocolate puddles on the surface, they're in there- I promise!
• If desired, sprinkle salt flakes on top of cookies and enjoy warm.

CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES

Steps:

• In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and both sugars for 3 minutes, or until light, fluffy, and cafe au lait-colored (use high speed on a hand mixer and medium speed on a stand mixer). Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as necessary. Add the vanilla and eggs and beat for 2 minutes more. Scrape down the bowl. Add the salt and baking soda and beat briefly until evenly combined. Add the flour and both chocolates, and mix on low speed until the flour is completely blended and the chocolate is evenly distributed throughout the dough.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or scrape the dough into an airtight container and let rest in the refrigerator until firm, a few hours. (Alternatively, if you don't want to wait, form the dough into balls on the baking sheet as instructed below and chill in the fridge until firm, about 30 minutes.)
• Preheat the oven to 350°F and set a rack in the middle position. Line a 13 x 18-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Drop the dough in firmly packed 1.5-tablespoon balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. (I use a #40/1.5-T cookie scoop with a wire trigger.) Bake for 11 to 13 minutes, until golden around the edges but still soft and pale in the center. Let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining cookie dough. The cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• Note: Some readers have had issues with the cookies being flat. This can happen as a result of using a "softer" flour. I highly recommend King Arthur All Purpose Flour for this recipe -- it's high in protein and gluten, and helps cookies hold their shape.
• Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The cookie dough can be frozen for up to 3 months. Roll the dough into balls, let set on a baking sheet in the freezer, then place in a sealable bag and press out as much air as possible. Bake as needed directly from the freezer. (Allow 1 to 2 minutes longer in the oven.) The baked cookies can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Let the cookies cool completely and store in an airtight container separating layers with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Before serving, remove the cookies from the container and let them come to room temperature.

THE BEST CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES

Steps:

• Position racks in the center and top third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt into a medium bowl. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a heavy-duty stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar on medium speed until well blended, about 2 minutes; scrape down the bowl.
• Beat the eggs and vanilla in a small bowl. Add to the butter mixture and blend well; scrape the bowl again. On low speed, add the flour mixture and beat until just mixed; scrape down the bowl. Add the chocolate and optional nuts and mix until incorporated into the dough.
• Drop rounded tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake, switching the position of the sheets from top to bottom and front to back halfway through baking, until the cookies are golden brown but the centers seem slightly underdone, about 13 minutes. Do not overbake or the cookies will be crisp throughout instead of chewy. Cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to wire cooling racks to cool completely. The cookies will crinkle as they cool. (Store at room temperature in airtight containers for up to 1 week.)
