Chocolate Chip Cookies With Chocolate Chunks Recipes

CHOCOLATE CHIP CHUNK COOKIES

Steps:

• Combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
• In a large bowl , cream the vegetable shortening and the two sugars. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients.
• Fold in the chocolate chips and the nuts. Cover and chill for 2 to 3 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Drop cookie by teaspoonfuls onto shiny lightly greased cookie sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes and transfer to wire racks to cool. Take out of oven when lightly colored - they will darken after being taken off cookie sheet.

CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES

Steps:

• In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and both sugars for 3 minutes, or until light, fluffy, and cafe au lait-colored (use high speed on a hand mixer and medium speed on a stand mixer). Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as necessary. Add the vanilla and eggs and beat for 2 minutes more. Scrape down the bowl. Add the salt and baking soda and beat briefly until evenly combined. Add the flour and both chocolates, and mix on low speed until the flour is completely blended and the chocolate is evenly distributed throughout the dough.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or scrape the dough into an airtight container and let rest in the refrigerator until firm, a few hours. (Alternatively, if you don't want to wait, form the dough into balls on the baking sheet as instructed below and chill in the fridge until firm, about 30 minutes.)
• Preheat the oven to 350°F and set a rack in the middle position. Line a 13 x 18-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Drop the dough in firmly packed 1.5-tablespoon balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. (I use a #40/1.5-T cookie scoop with a wire trigger.) Bake for 11 to 13 minutes, until golden around the edges but still soft and pale in the center. Let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining cookie dough. The cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• Note: Some readers have had issues with the cookies being flat. This can happen as a result of using a "softer" flour. I highly recommend King Arthur All Purpose Flour for this recipe -- it's high in protein and gluten, and helps cookies hold their shape.
• Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The cookie dough can be frozen for up to 3 months. Roll the dough into balls, let set on a baking sheet in the freezer, then place in a sealable bag and press out as much air as possible. Bake as needed directly from the freezer. (Allow 1 to 2 minutes longer in the oven.) The baked cookies can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Let the cookies cool completely and store in an airtight container separating layers with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Before serving, remove the cookies from the container and let them come to room temperature.

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES WITH CHOCOLATE CHUNKS

Steps:

• Beat the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in a bowl with a mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla; beat.
• Whisk the flour, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Add to the butter mixture and beat until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chunks.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough and roll into balls. Arrange on parchment-lined baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Refrigerate 30 minutes, then bake until the cookies are golden on the bottom, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on the baking sheets, 10 minutes, then transfer to racks to finish cooling.

CHOCOLATE CHIP AND CHUNK COOKIES

Steps:

• To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter on low speed until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add the sugars and beat on medium-high speed until creamed and well combined, about 3 minutes.
• Stop, scrape down the sides of the bowl, and add the egg, vanilla, and beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
• Stop, scrape down the sides of the bowl, and add the flours, corn starch, baking soda, salt, and mix until just combined, about 1 minute.
• Add the chocolate chips and chunks, and either fold in by hand or beat for a few seconds on low speed.
• Using a 2-ounce cookie scoop, form heaping mounds weighing 2 1/4-ounces each (weighed on a scale, which is approximately a scant 1/4-cup measure. Dough mounds will look large for their weight because there's lots of chocolate pieces adding bulk).
• Place mounds on a large plate or tray, cover with plasticwrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to 5 days.
• Preheat oven to 350F, line a baking sheet with a Silpat Non-Stick Baking Mat, parchment, or spray with cooking spray. Place dough mounds on the baking sheet, spaced at least 2 inches apart; I bake 8 cookies per sheet.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until barely golden brown around the edges, even if slightly undercooked in the center, noting the tops will not be browned and will be pale. Do not cook longer than ten minutes as cookies will darken and firm up as they cool (The cookies shown in the photos were baked for 8 minutes, rotated once midway through baking, and have chewy edges with soft pillowy centers).
• Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing and transferring to a rack to finish cooling.

CHOCOLATE CHUNK AND CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Weigh and measure the flour, baking soda, and salt into a mixing bowl. Set aside. Place butter in the bowl of a stand mixer and mix on low speed until light, airy and creamy, 3 minutes. Meanwhile in a mixing bowl, combine both sugars, then, turn off the mixer and add to the butter. Turn on the mixer and continue beating the butter and sugar, 3 minutes. Add the molasses and continue to beat for 30 seconds. Add the dry ingredients, a bit at a time to just absorb the butter/sugar mixture, followed by the egg until just combined. Add the chocolate chips and the chocolate and mix just until combined. Scrape the outside of the bowl to make sure the dough is fully mixed. Chill for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
• Using an ice cream scoop, scoop dough and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Alternate the cookies on the sheet so they bake evenly and place in the middle of the oven to bake for 14 minutes.
• Remove to cool on rack.

CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES I

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In large bowl, beat butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt; stir into the butter mixture until well blended. Mix in the chocolate chips and walnuts. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or just until set. Cool slightly on the cookie sheets before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Cream the butter and two sugars until light and fluffy in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the vanilla, then the eggs, one at a time, and mix well. Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt and add to the butter with the mixer on low speed, mixing only until combined. Fold in the walnuts and chocolate chunks.
• Drop the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, using a 1 3/4-inch-diameter ice cream scoop or a rounded tablespoon. Dampen your hands and flatten the dough slightly. Bake for exactly 15 minutes (the cookies will seem underdone). Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES WITH CHOCOLATE CHUNKS

Steps:

• Beat the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in a bowl with a mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla; beat.
• Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Add to the butter mixture and beat until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chunks.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough and roll into balls. Arrange on parchment-lined baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Refrigerate 30 minutes, then bake until the cookies are golden on the bottom, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on the baking sheets, 10 minutes, then transfer to racks to finish cooling.

GIANT CRINKLED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange three racks evenly spaced in the oven (see Cook's Note).
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed for 3 minutes, until creamy. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar and beat on medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes, until light and fluffy. Scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add the egg, vanilla, and 2 tablespoons of warm water and mix on low speed just to combine. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and kosher salt. With the mixer on low, slowly add the flour mixture, then the chocolate (including the fine chocolate dust) to the batter until combined. Mix well with a rubber spatula.
• With a 2 1/4-inch standard ice cream scoop (or 1/3 cup measure), make 12 rounded scoops of dough and place them on a sheet pan. Freeze the dough for exactly 15 minutes, then arrange 4 balls of dough--spaced wide apart--on each of three sheet pans lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes, until the cookies are slightly puffed in the center. Remove the pans from the oven and bang them on the stove top, until the center of the cookies deflate. Bake for 3 minutes, then bang the pans again, repeating baking and banging every 3 minutes, for 18 to 20 minutes total, until the edges of the cookies are golden brown. (The centers will be lighter and not fully cooked.) Rotate the sheet pans in the oven so the cookies bake evenly. Sprinkle the cookies with fleur de sel and cool completely on the pans.

CHOCOLATE CHUNK MAYO COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
• Whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Cream the butter and both sugars with an electric hand mixer on medium speed (fit a stand mixer with the paddle attachment) until fluffy and pale brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in the mayonnaise, vanilla and egg until fluffy and combined, about 30 seconds. Add the flour mixture and beat on low speed until mostly combined, then add all but 1/4 cup of the chopped chocolate. Stir by hand until completely combined and there is no dry flour visible.
• Place 5 dough scoops onto each prepared baking sheet using a 1/4 cup ice cream scoop, spacing them 2 to 3 inches apart. Divide the remaining chopped chocolate between the scoops, pressing a little into the top of each one (see Cook's Note).
• Bake until the cookies are browned and just set on top, but still very soft, 10 to 12 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. Serve warm or room temperature. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
• Cook's Note: When measuring flour, we spoon it into a dry measuring cup and level off the excess. (Scooping directly from the bag compacts the flour, resulting in dry baked goods.)
• This dough is great for freezing for up to 6 months. Freeze on the baking sheet until firm and then transfer to a resealable bag. Bake from frozen for 12 to 14 minutes.
