Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Chocolate Chunk CookiesWe have been a cookie loving family since I started baking. I always wanted to introduce my family (especially my kids) and friends to the amazing taste of a Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookie.
Their and I mean everyone’s favourite by a long shot were Seven Layer Bars or also known as Hello Dollies.
When I first arrived in Italy and there were no chocolate chips to be found,
I can still see myself placing a large piece of dark chocolate in a double plastic bag and with one of those small hammers, hammering out small chunks of chocolate.
Now chocolate chips and chocolate chunks are everywhere so no more hammering for me.
Needless to say in all this time I have made my share of Chocolate Chip Cookies.
But these Chocolate Cookies are the winner. They are supposed to be made large but you can make them smaller if you must!
They are so full of chocolate that you will never hear “Did you get my chips? Because I didn’t get any”!
in fact you will get chocolate in every bite!
The Best Chocolate for Cookies
I like to use dark chocolate or semi sweet chocolate in my cookies. Although I am sure a mixture of dark and milk or even add a little white chocolate would work too.
Just be sure to use a good quality chocolate, that can make such a difference.
How to keep your Cookies fresh
Make sure to let your cookies cool completely before storing them in an air tight container, and place a piece of parchment paper between each layer.
Store the container at room temperature and be sure to eat them in 3-4 days.
These cookies can also be frozen in the air tight container and will last in the freezer for up to 3 months.
