Dark Chocolate Chunk Cookies
A delicious blend of sweet and salty!
Ingredients
- 2¼ cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated white sugar
- 1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest (optional!)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups dark chocolate chunks
- flaky sea salt, for sprinkling
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and baking soda.
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the butter, both sugars, and orange zest (if using), for about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time until lightened, about 2 minutes longer. Stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract. Add the flour mixture and stir together until just combined. Stir in 2 cups of the dark chocolate chunks.
- IMPORTANT: Cover the bowl, and chill the dough for 24 hours.
- The next day... Preheat the oven to 375˚F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick silicone liners.
- Scoop heaping tablespoonfuls of the dough, and roll them into balls. Place them on the baking sheets, and flatten slightly with your hand. Add more dark chocolate pieces on each cookie. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
- Bake the cookies until golden brown and just set on the edges, for about 12 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
