Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a stand mixer, combine unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat at medium speed for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add pure vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix for another 1-2 minutes until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually incorporate the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chunks until evenly distributed.
- Drop dollops of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with dampened hands.
- Bake for exactly 15 minutes; edges should be set and centers soft.
- Cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
These cookies are perfect for dunking in milk or pairing with ice cream. For distinctly shaped cookies, chill the scooped dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before baking.
