1 teaspoon baking soda

Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in Chocolate Chunks: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chunks, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Shape Cookies: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
