Serving: These cookies are best enjoyed warm with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee. For an extra indulgent treat, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to 3 months. Just make sure to place parchment paper between layers of cookies to prevent sticking.
Variations:
Nuts: Add chopped walnuts or pecans for an extra crunch.
Dark Chocolate: Swap out the milk chocolate chunks for dark chocolate for a richer flavor.
Oatmeal: Add 1/2 cup of rolled oats for an oatmeal-chocolate chunk hybrid cookie.
Peanut Butter: Stir in 2 tablespoons of peanut butter to the dough for a peanut butter chocolate combination.
Coconut: Mix in shredded coconut for a tropical twist.
FAQs:
Can I use margarine instead of butter? Yes, margarine can be used, but butter tends to yield a richer flavor and texture. If you substitute margarine, ensure it’s softened just like butter would be.
What if I don’t have chocolate chunks? Chocolate chips work just as well! You can also chop up a chocolate bar into chunks if that’s what you have on hand.
Can I use whole wheat flour? You can substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour, but the texture might be a bit denser and the flavor nuttier. You may need to add a little extra liquid if the dough feels too dry.
Can I make these cookies gluten-free? Yes! You can use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend in place of regular flour to make these cookies gluten-free. Just make sure the blend includes xanthan gum or guar gum to help with texture.
How can I make these cookies chewier? For chewier cookies, add an extra tablespoon of brown sugar and slightly underbake the cookies so they stay soft in the center.
