My Big, Fat Chocolate Chip Cookies

Tyler Florence original, I changed a few things.
Ingredients

* 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, at room temperature
* 1/2 cup white sugar
* 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
* 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
* 2 large eggs
* 1 (8-ounce) block dark chocolate, coarsely chopped

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt into a medium bowl and set aside.

Place the butter, sugar, and brown sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer; cream together on medium speed until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Beat in the vanilla and eggs. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and continue to mix until a smooth batter forms. Turn off the mixer and fold in the chocolate chunks using the spatula.

To form the cookies, scoop into your hands and roll it around into a ball; place them about 3-inches apart onto cookie sheets. Bake until the cookies are light brown, 12 minutes for chewy cookies, or about 15 minutes for crispy cookies. Forming the balls made perfect round take to the neighbors cookies.

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough/cookie sheets.
