The Perfect Ultra Chocolate Chunk Cookie!!

Chocolate chip cookies were the first thing I ever learned to bake.  I have long been searching for the perfect cookie.   Well, I have found it!!  The secret here is BREAD FLOUR.  Not All Purpose flour.  The original recipe I used said to use half bread flour and half pastry flour.  I could not find pastry flour anywhere.  So I used all bread flour and it is amazing!!  No these aren't exactly for the healthy eating type..1 pound of butter...you'll see all the awesomeness that goes into these below!


~You Will Need

~1 pound unsalted butter
~1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
~2 1/4 cups packed light-brown sugar
~4 large eggs
~6 cups, plus 2 TBL of BREAD FLOUR
~1 tablespoon salt
~2 teaspoons baking powder
~2 teaspoons baking soda
~1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
~2 pounds semi-sweet chocolate chunks

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with aluminum foil (greased) or nonstick baking mats; set aside.   In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugars.
Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. 
In a large bowl combine all dry ingredients. Reduce speed to low and add flour, baking powder, baking soda, vanilla, and chocolate; mix until well combined.
Scoop about 1-2 TBL of cookie dough onto baking sheet. Bake for about 11 minutes until lightly brown.

Cool slightly on baking sheets before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
