Improved Chocolate Chunk Cookies

 

Today, I made a small tweak to my Chocolate Chunk Cookie recipe. It is such a small change, but I really feel that it takes the cookie to the next level of yumminess. The flavor of the cookie hasn’t changed, but there is just a little more substance around the chocolate pieces. My husband and daughter couldn't stop eating them.

Ingredients

2 ¼ cups  + 2 tbsp all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

2 large eggs

12 oz. (4 3 oz. bars) Dark Chocolate Dream cut into chunks

·      Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl and whisk to thoroughly mix.

·      In a large bowl, beat margarine, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy.
