Ingredients

• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 (1.45 oz) Hershey’s Milk Chocolate bars, broken into large pieces
• 2 (1.45 oz) Hershey’s Special Dark Chocolate bars, broken into large pieces
• sea salt for topping

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350º F.

Cream butter then add sugars and mix until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix until well-combined. Add flour, salt, and baking soda to butter mixture. Mix well. Fold in chocolate chunks by hand. Scoop chocolate chunk cookie dough onto a cookie sheet spacing well apart to allow room for the cookie to spread lightly. Bake for about 10 – 12 minutes or until lightly browned.

Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt onto cookies right out of the oven while still warm.

Notes:

Make-Ahead:
You can prepare the dough and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days. When you are ready to bake, scoop the dough into balls and follow the recipe baking instructions.

Freezer Friendly:
Scoop dough by the tablespoon and roll into a ball and place onto a parchment covered baking sheet. Cover and place in the freezer for 1 hour or until the dough is frozen. Remove from the freezer and place the cookie mounds into airtight containers or freezer bags. Label the bag with the date and name of the cookies.

When you are ready to bake the cookies, remove the container from the freezer. Remove the number of cookies from the container that you wish to bake and place them in the refrigerator to thaw. Once the dough has thawed, place them at least 1 1/2 to 2 inches apart on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake as directed in your recipe but you will probably need to add a couple of extra minutes to the baking time.
