Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (310 grams) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (227 grams) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • ¾ cup (150 grams) light brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (270 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ¾ cup (about 130 grams) chopped fudge chunks or ½ cup fudge sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter with light brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or folding gently until just combined.
  6. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and fudge chunks or spoon in dollops of fudge sauce.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop large mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Keep the mounds tall and do not flatten.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden brown but centers still look slightly soft.
  9. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use softened butter, not melted, to prevent spreading. Chill dough for 30 minutes before baking to maintain thickness. Watch cookies closely after 12 minutes to avoid overbaking. Let cookies cool on baking sheet before moving to avoid breaking edges.
