(by Shirley McNevich)
2 sticks softened butter
1 cup packed Domino's dark brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 large eggs
2 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. pure vanilla (or 2 tsp. imitation vanilla)
4 cups semisweet chocolate chunks (yes, FOUR cups)-the higher quality the chocolate, the better the cookies will turn out
Place the butter in a mixer and cream at high speed until fluffy. Add the sugars and beat until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then beat until completely mixed. In a separate bowl, mix flour, salt and baking soda -add to the butter mixture at low speed until combined and add vanilla. Beat on medium speed until blended. Remove bowl from mix, add chocolate chunks and mix with a wooden spoon. Refrigerate overnight! Don't skip this step! Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Drop heaping spoonfuls of batter two inches apart on greased baking sheets and bake 10-12 minutes, turning tray 180 degrees halfway through baking. Bake until golden brown around edges and soft. Cool on a wire rack.
