Salted Dark Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Salted Dark Chocolate Chunk Cookies

No doubt this is THE favorite cookie here in America. It’s hard to beat the combination of that buttery dough, semi-sweet chocolate and a touch of flaked salt at the end to bring out the depth in the chocolate.

This recipe is simple, but with one exception. I add the eggs last! Yes last. Not with the wet ingredients. I also prefer chunks over chips or you can do a mixture of both. Somehow it all makes for a cookie with the perfect ratio of melty chocolate, crisp edges, and a chewy yet soft center. My favorite cookie indeed.

Dark Chocolate Chunk Cookie
Ingredients
  • 2 1/4 cups APF (all purpose flour)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup ( 2 sticks unsalted butter ) softened
  • 3/4 cup packed mascovado sugar
  • 3/4 granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 12 oz dark chocolate chunks shaved from a baking bar
  • Flaked salt
  • 1 cup walnuts or pecans (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Step 2
Combine/sift together flour, baking soda and salt.
Step 3
In a mixer beat together softened butter, granulated sugar, mascovado and vanilla and blend until creamy about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Gradually add in flour mixture until well combined.
Step 5
Add in chocolate chunks and mix through.
Step 6
Add in beaten eggs and mix until well combined. The dough will take on a slightly darker color.
Step 7
Stir in nuts by hand if using.
Step 8
Using a 2” scoop, place cookies on baking sheet lined with a silpat mat, parchment, or ungreased baking pan. The cookies will spread so leave at least 2 inches between each cookie.
Step 9
Bake for approximately 11-13 minutes until golden brown around the edges. Sprinkle immediately with flaked salt.
Step 10
Try to stop eating them.
Step 11
TIP
Step 12
The mascovado brown sugar gives the cookies a wonderful ‘carmely’ color and flavor. They turn out best if used.
