Double Chocolate Chunk Cookies

“Oh my god. Holy sh*t. Oh. My. God” – Direct quote from Papa Rach.

But seriously, these may have been the best cookies I have ever made. I mean, just look at them. This weekend I made over 200 cookies for Mother’s Day weekend (more recipes to come later!), but these were the mack daddys. Soft, chewy, chocolaty, rich.

Makes approximately 18 cookies.

Tips & Tricks:

  • Do not over heat the chocolate, it will burn and ruin the cookies
  • The dough will be thinner than a traditional cookie dough. It should look more like a brownie batter. This is okay! No need to refrigerate the dough, this may result in dried out cookies.
  • If you like sea salt, sprinkle a little on top. It’s a great way to break up the intense sweetness of this cookie.
  • If you are like me and you do not have a cookie scoop yet *hint, hint, Matty*, use a small ice cream scoop to make your cookies round and equally sized.
  • I almost always under-cook my cookies because it keeps them moist for days!

Ingredients:

  • 2 – 3.5 oz bars of 72% dark chocolate
  • 1 bag of semi-sweet chocolate chunks
  • 2/3 cup flour
  • 3/4 packed dark-brown sugar
  • 4 tbsp of salted butter
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Combine 2 bars of chopped chocolate, 1/4 cup of chocolate chunks, and butter in a microwave safe bowl. Heat in microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is mostly melted (about 60 seconds total)
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla with a hand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy
  4. Mix in the melted chocolate
  5. Mix in the flour and baking powder until just combined
  6. Stir in as many chocolate chunks as desired, I used about 1 1/2 cups
  7. Line baking sheet with parchment paper
  8. Scoop heaping spoons of dough on to the baking sheet 2 inches apart
  9. Bake 12 minutes until cookies are crackly and soft
  10. Remove from cookie sheet immediately to cool

I hope you enjoy these as much as my family and I did! Happy baking!
