Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Chewy chocolate chip (or chunk) cookies with a crispy, delicious edge. Melted butter recipe so no chill time is required. 

Made these for the neighbor friends and they love them.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 1/3 (170g) cup of flour 
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted & cooled
  • 1/2 cup (100g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/3 cup (70g) granulated white sugar 
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract 
  • 1 large egg, room temperature 
  • 1 1/2 cup (250g) semisweet chocolate chip or chunks 
  • (optional) replace 75g of chocolate chips with chopped walnuts 
  • flakey salt, to finish 


DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350F and line baking sheets with parchment paper. 
  2. Melt butter and set aside to cool. 
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside. 
  4. In a large bowl (stand mixer bowl if using a stand mixer) cream together butter, and both sugars. It's important that the butter is not hot - warm is ok. Whisk vigorously until it turns into a paste-like consistency. 
  5. Whisk in egg and vanilla until smooth. 
  6. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet and fold until there's still some streaks of flour left. Fold in chocolate chips/chunks (and optional walnuts if using) until just combined. 
  7. Use a 2 tablespoon scooper and scoop onto prepared baking sheets. 6 scoops is good as they spread. Bake for 10-12 minutes. 
  8. Cookies are ready when edges are golden but middle is still soft and puffed up. 
  9. Immediately after taking the cookies out, use a fork or large round cookie cutter to reshape. Sprinkle sea salt. 
  10. Let cookies continue to cook for 3-5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before packaging if giving cookies away. 

(In the photo I am using Guittard super chocolate chips. They taste good but look funny. I might prefer their semi-sweet. Trader Joe's semi sweet chocolate chips are good too.)

Notes: we used our smallest scooper and was able to get 22 3 inch cookies from 1 batch.
