Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the wet mixture.
Fold in the chocolate chunks until evenly distributed.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Enjoy your warm chocolate chunk cookies!
