Chunky choc-chip cookies FAQ:
Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown while the centers remain soft.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, consider freezing them in a freezer-safe bag or container.
Yes, you can substitute dark chocolate with milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate, but the flavor and sweetness of the cookies may change.
Cookies are done when the edges are golden brown, and the centers appear slightly underbaked. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
Using standard half-sheet baking pans (about 18x13 inches) works well for this recipe, allowing enough space between the cookies for spreading.
Tips:
- Use room temperature butter.: Let the butter sit out for about an hour before you begin. This will help it cream better with the sugars, resulting in a smooth and fluffy mixture.
- Don't overmix the dough.: Mix just until the ingredients are combined. Overmixing can lead to dense and tough cookies.
- Chill the dough before baking.: Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This helps to prevent the cookies from spreading too much and ensures they stay thick and chunky.
- Use high-quality chocolate.: Opt for high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor. You can chop a chocolate bar into chunks for a more rustic feel.
- Experiment with add-ins.: Feel free to add nuts, dried fruit, or even a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the cookies before baking for an extra burst of flavor.
