Ingredients

8 oz, semisweet chocolate *
2 cups flour
¾ t baking soda
½ t salt
1 cup butter, softened to room temperature
1 cup dark brown sugar
½ cup sugar
2 eggs, brought to room temperature
2 t vanilla
1 oz. unsweetened chocolate
1 oz. bittersweet chocolate

You could use chocolate chips here, but what’s the fun in that? This way, you get the old-timey bakery-style cookies where the chocolate is in all different sizes.

Directions

First off, chop up the semisweet chocolate into non-uniform chunks and set it aside.

Next, in a small bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt and set that aside as well.

In a large bowl mix together the butter, brown sugar and sugar until nice and fluffy. Add in the eggs and vanilla and mix again until everything is well combined.

Put your two chocolates (the 1 oz of each) into a small bowl and melt. Add the melted chocolate to your wet ingredients until it’s well combined.

Next, get your flour mixture and add that to your wet, mixing until just combined – you don’t have to mix much. Add in your chopped up chocolate bits, and we have your dough.

Line baking sheets with parchment paper and put golf ball-sized balls of dough onto the sheets, 6 to a sheet.

Bake at 350 for 9-11 minutes or until the edges are slightly brown. Remove from the oven and let rest on the cookie sheets for a few minutes, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
