Ingredients
  

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 large eggs

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chunks

1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks (optional for an extra chocolatey feel)

1 cup chopped walnuts (optional for a crunch)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining two baking sheets with parchment paper.

    Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Using an electric mixer, cream them together on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

      Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated before adding the next.

        Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

          Fold in Chocolate and Nuts: Gently fold in the semi-sweet and dark chocolate chunks along with the walnuts (if using) using a spatula. Make sure not to overmix; you want to keep those delicious chunks visible!

            Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or heaping tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

              Bake: Place the trays in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still soft (they will firm up as they cool).

                Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Enjoy: Once cooled, dig in and enjoy your deliciously chewy and chocolatey chunk cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
