Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Alice's Chocolate Chip Cookies
Recipe adapted from http://savorysweetlife.com/2009/10/alices-chocolate-chip-cookie-recipe/


1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
12 oz. all-purpose flour (about 3 cups)
1 teaspoon fleur de sel salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
8 oz. dark chocolate, chopped
1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips



Preheat oven to 360F degrees. Cream butter, sugar, and brown sugar until it is nice and fluffy. Add eggs (one at a time, beating well after each addition) and vanilla and beat for an additional 2 minutes.  In another bowl, combine baking soda, baking powder, salt, and flour. Add to butter mixture and mix until fully incorporated.  


Finally add chocolate chunks and chocolate chips and mix until well distributed.  The cookie batter should be somewhat thick.  Drop about 2 tablespoons of dough or use a medium cookie scoop and plop the batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.  


Bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges are nice and golden brown. Remove from heat and allow the cookies to stay on the cookie sheet for an additional 2 minutes.  Pick up the parchment paper with the cookies still on top and transfer to a cool non-porous surface.  Allow the cookies to cool on the paper for at least 3 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
