Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes
Servings 28 cookies

Equipment

  • Stand or hand held mixer.

Ingredients

  • 3.5 sticks butter room temp
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 Tbsp Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 4 Tbsp Heavy Cream
  • 4 Tbsp Light Corn Syrup
  • 3.5 cups AP flour
  • 1 Tbsp Kosher Salt
  • 1.5 tsp baking soda
  • 24 oz chopped good dark chocolate
  • 2 Tbsp Malden Sea Salt flakes

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and position two racks in the middle of the oven.
  • Combine the first three ingredients in a stand mixture with paddle attachment. Mix well until smooth and creamy. Combine next three ingredients (cream through vanilla), then add to the butter and sugar, mixing thoroughly. Whisk dry ingredients in a bowl, then slowly add to the dough, mixing minimally until combined. Stir in the chocolate chunks by hand.
  • Scoop cookies into 2 tbsp sized balls, sprinkle with malden sea salt and bake for 11-12 minutes. Tap the pans on the counter when done, to flatten the cookies a bit. Let cool and enjoy! Cookies will be best within a day, but will keep for several days in airtight container.

Notes

I highly recommend chopping your own block of chocolate, as the small shreds that mix into the batter give the cookie a great texture after baking.  Trader Joe's GIANT 70% bars are a great option for this recipe.
