I really the flavor of these chocolate chunk cookies. I feel like the recipe came together easily.

But the problem: I’m not actually a THICK chocolate chip cookie kind of girl.

I like a cookie to be thick enough to have a slightly underbaked and gooey center. But the most important part of a cookie to me is the golden, buttery, crinkly edge that has just a little hint of a crisp to it. And really thick, puffy cookies decidedly do not have buttery, crinkly edges.

I took my Thick and Chewy Brown Sugar Chocolate Chip Cookies and made them slightly less thick with a double dose of chocolate (and white chocolate) chunks!

So with a little minor tweaking and a major increase in chocolate, I made these exactly the way I like them– crinkly edges with gooey centers and an exorbitant amount of chocolate.

A FEW THINGS TO NOTE ABOUT THIS RECIPE:

  • This recipe calls for chocolate CHUNKS, not chocolate chips. Believe it or not, the distinction does matter. Will the cookie still taste good with chocolate chips? Of course! But you’ll end up with a different thickness. True story. And since it will bake at a different thickness, you’ll also end up with a slightly different texture (which I would characterized as more cake-y).
  • My FAVORITE chocolate to use for chocolate chunk cookies is the Pound Plus bar from Trader Joe’s. It is ????????????. But when I don’t have that on hand, I just use Baker’s Premium Baking Bar (it’s in every chocolate chip section of every grocery store everywhere… more or less). This recipe calls for both white and dark chocolates.
  • I like really salty chocolate chip/chunk cookies. So I always use salted butter, salt in the dough, AND a little additional flaked salt on top. But I’ll leave that up to your discretion and personal taste ????.
