These chocolate chunk cookies are somewhere between thick and thin, with crisp slightly crinkly edges and a chewy, gooey center. I use chopped chocolate instead of chocolate chips so it integrates into the cookie more seamlessly and you get nice puddles on top. I also use a little extra salt to balance the sweetness. PLUS with melted butter, there’s no chill time required.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a large bowl whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar.
Whisk in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Fold in the flour, baking soda, and salt until almost fully combined.
Fold in the chopped chocolate (reserving some large chunks on the side).
Scoop 3 tbsp balls of dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Top each dough ball with a large chunk or two of chocolate.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges are just golden brown.
