In a large bowl, add 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Stir together with a wooden spoon.

Melt 1 cup of salted butter in the microwave or over a Bain Marie.

Add 3/4 cup of granulated sugar and 3/4 cup of brown sugar to the melted butter and mix with a wooden spoon.

Crack in 2 large eggs and add 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract to the mixture, then mix well with the wooden spoon.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until it forms a dough.

Chop 8 ounces of bittersweet chocolate into large chunks and fold it into the dough with a wooden spoon.

Chill the dough in the fridge for 1 hour to keep its shape while baking.

Scoop out 14 generous-sized cookies from the dough and roll them into balls for even baking.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Place the cookie balls on baking sheets and bake for 12 minutes for a gooey center and crispy outside.

Check for a golden brown edge and a gooey center after baking.

Enjoy the cookies fresh out of the oven while they are warm and the chocolate is gooey.
