dark chocolate chunk cookies

---

ingredients:

•  2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup butter, softened (we used 2 cubes, [1/4 lb each], the same as 2 sticks in the US, and here are other equivalencies) 
• 1 1/2 cups sugar(s) of your choice (for us, at least 1 cup of that is coconut sugar)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 1 package (200g - 312g) of chocolate chunks or chocolate chips (we use 50% - 70% dark chocolate varieties)
• optional - 1 cup chopped nuts

process:

• preheat oven to 375° F
• combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl
• beat butter, sugar(s), and vanilla in a large mixer bowl, until creamy
• add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition
• gradually beat in flour mixture
• stir in chips or chunks (and nuts)
• drop by rounded teaspoons (or tablespoons) onto ungreased baking sheets
• bake for 9-11 minutes, or until golden brown
• cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes
• remove to wire racks to cool completely
• yields about 60 cookies, according to the original recipe - but, for us it has made 40-47 cookies, depending upon cookie size, and also whether chocolate chips or chocolate chunks were used (the chocolate chunk package was smaller)
