Cookies with all butter as the fat agent can be a bit sensitive. If you over bake them by as much as a minute they will be tough and dry. Usually aim for underbaking. You can also substitute a bit of lard or vegetable shortening for the butter to make it easier to have a softer texture, but the flavor won't be quite as good in our experience. Good luck. Todd Hi Alexis.

Inexperienced baker here. I made these cookies tonight (both the regular and deep dish versions) and while they look absolutely perfect I found them to be somewhat dry. Granted i did not use all 350 grams of chocolate, but they still almost demand the vanilla ice cream or a big glass of milk accompaniment. I'm not sure if it's something i did or if it's just a differing of taste-buds. Thanks for the recipe though! Loved the logging technique too. Hi! Inexperienced baker here.

We just roll them into logs to make it easier to freeze and roll into cookies later. If you want to make them into balls, I wouldn't bother flattening them, as they'll spread and relax when baking. The dough still benefits from chilling so it doesn't flatten too much when baking, but that is our personal preference for thicker cookies. I'd chill the cookie dough for 30 minutes to an hour before balling and baking. Good luck! Hi Katie,

I would love to try these, can I just form into balls and flatten instead of rolling into logs?

We did post Part 2. It was about Pizookies - fresh baked cookies with ice cream. You can find the <a href="http://whiteonricecouple.com/recipes/baked-goods-sweet/chocolate-chip-cookies-a-la-mode/" rel="nofollow">post here</a>. Be careful, they are highly addicting, especially when using one of David's ice cream recipes! Hi Flo,

I was wondering if you ever did post the Part 2 of the Chocolate Chunk Cookies. Thanks.

We buy our chocolate in bulk chunks cut from a larger block at a local store. Occasionally we'll also use the Trader Joes Dark Chocolate 1 lb bars, but most of our chocolate supply is from this mystery chocolatier. The flavor and texture is great and the price is good.

I like the Plugra butter as well and think it makes a big difference. When you say dark chocolate...is there a certain brand that you favor? Thanks for sharing your recipe!! Can't wait to try it....and your photography...amazing! I am a huge chocolate chip cookie fan…but am very picky about taste…so in constant search of a perfect recipe.

The darker the chocolate, the richer however more bitter taste it will have. Personal preference. It is totally up to you. The darker the chocolate, the richer however more bitter taste it will have.
