Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line two baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper, set aside.
- In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract and beat for 1 minute. Add the eggs and beat until well combined.
- Turn the mixer to low and add in the flour until smooth. Fold in chocolate chunks by hand.
- Using a large cookie scoop, drop large balls of dough (about 3 tablespoons worth of dough) onto prepared baking sheets. Leave about 2 1/2 inches between dough balls for spreading.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until golden brown on the edges. Tops of cookies might seem under cooked. Make sure to not over-bake!
- If desired, sprinkle the tops of cookies with flaked sea salt as soon as you remove them from the oven.
- Cool cookies for 5 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
- Serve them warm with a glass of milk.
