Recipe: Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Name: Recipe: Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Ingredients: ⅔ cup butter; ¼ cup shortening; ¼ cup white sugar; ⅔ cup brown sugar; 1 egg; 1 egg yolk; ½ tablespoon vanilla extract; 2 cups all-purpose flour; 1 teaspoon salt; ½ teaspoon baking powder; ½ teaspoon baking soda; 2 tablets (3.6oz/100g) dark chocolate; ⅓ cup cocoa nibs

Mitzie Mee – Sanne: I got this recipe from Ben & Becca from Lumineux Chocolate, and I’m telling you, this recipe is the only cookie recipe you will ever need. The cookies are crispy on the outside, and soft and slightly chewy on the inside, just like you want your cookies to be, and the cocoa nibs adds a little bit of crunch.

Use a nice, dark chocolate, such as the 68% Philippines Dark Chocolate from Lumineux.

The cookies do not spread much, so you might want to flatten them a bit before baking, to make sure they get the desired thickness.

Ingredients

⅔ cup ⅔ butter
¼ cup ¼ shortening
¼ cup ¼ white sugar
⅔ cup ⅔ brown sugar
1 1 egg
1 1 egg yolk
½ tablespoon ½ vanilla extract
2 cups 2 all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon 1 salt
½ teaspoon ½ baking powder
½ teaspoon ½ baking soda
2 tablets (3.6oz/100g) 2 dark chocolate
⅓ cup ⅓ cocoa nibs

Directions

Pull out butter and eggs and allow to reach room temperature.
Cream the butter, shortening, and both sugars with a mixer at a low to medium
speed until lighter in color and creamy.
Add eggs, then the egg yolks, one at a time to the mixer, scraping the bowl after
each addition. Add the vanilla extract, then mix until combined.
Combine the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a separate bowl and
whisk together until well blended.
Add the dry ingredients to the mixer and mix slowly, stopping and scraping the bowl
every 15 seconds, until the dry ingredients are almost completely mixed in but not
fully combined. Be careful to not overmix the dough.
Add in the chocolate chunks and the cocoa nibs and mix by hand until combined.
Wrap up the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator at least 6 hours,
though overnight is best.
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease a sheet pan with pan spray, or place a sheet of parchment paper on it.
Scoop your cookies onto the sheet pan, leaving room around each one for them to
spread. Bake for 10 minutes or so, until the middle of the cookies are set.
