PSSSSST! FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM TO GET NEW DESSERTS DAILY! Looking for THICK and CHEWY peanut butter cookies with massive chocolate chunks? The search ends here. A FEW THINGS TO NOTE ABOUT THIS RECIPE These are BIG cookies. When I baked up a few that were a more “normal” size, I found that they just didn’t bake up as well as the big ones. I’m sure there’s some baking science behind the reason why, but I don’t know what it is. All I can tell you is that you’ll have to trust me and stick to the instructions I’ve written in the recipe below 🙂 Feel free to use chocolate chips if you want instead of chocolate chunks. I love the BIG pockets of chocolate you get when you use chocolate chunks, but chunks vs chips aren’t going to make or break these cookies. I used Trader Joe’s Pound Plus bars for my chocolate chunks. This dough is a little bit crumbly. Be sure to pack the dough tight before rolling it into a ball. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet. The reason I suggest doing this is because baking the cookies for 10 minutes will actually underbake them. But more time in the oven will dry them out and make them hard. But we can slightly underbake them in the oven and then let them finish baking on the cookie sheet while cooling to get that perfectly chewy middle without leaving any of the dough raw. What’s my favorite part of these Thick and Chewy Chocolate Chunk Cookies? The HUGE chunks of chocolate, of course!
