Step 7: Fold in the chocolate chips and chocolate chunks evenly throughout the dough.

Step 8: Scoop portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them apart.

Step 9: Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the centers remain soft.

Step 11: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

To keep cookies soft, place a slice of bread inside the storage container.

Freeze baked cookies or cookie dough for up to 3 months.

Warm cookies in the microwave for 10 to 15 seconds before serving for a fresh-from-the-oven texture.
