Variations

Looking for gluten-free or vegan options? We've got you covered! 🙂

Gluten-Free Variation: 🥳

Simply replace the all-purpose flour with your favorite gluten-free flour blend. Make sure it contains xanthan gum to bind the dough properly. This way, you’ll get the same delicious cookies without the gluten! 🌱

Vegan Variation: 🌱

Swap the eggs with a flaxseed meal mixture (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 3 tablespoons water = 1 egg) and use a vegan butter substitute. Make sure your chocolate is dairy-free as well. Voilà! Vegan chocolate chunk cookies that everyone can enjoy. 🍪❤️

Faq

  • Q: Can I use milk chocolate instead of 70% chocolate?

    A: Absolutely! Just keep in mind that milk chocolate has more sugar, so the cookies will be sweeter.

  • Q: Do I need to refrigerate the dough for exactly 30 minutes?

    A: While 30 minutes is ideal, a little more or less won't hurt. Chilling helps the flavors meld and the dough firm up, so don't skip this step!

  • Q: What's the best way to store these cookies?

    A: Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days, or freeze them for up to three months. Just thaw and warm them slightly before serving.

  • Q: Can I add nuts to the dough?

    A: Absolutely! Chopped walnuts or pecans make a great addition. Just fold them in after you've mixed the dough.

  • Q: How do I know when the cookies are done?

    A: The edges should be set but the centers will still look slightly underdone. They'll continue to firm up as they cool. Aim for that perfect gooey center!

  • Q: Can I double the recipe?

    A: Sure thing! This recipe doubles well. Just make sure you have enough space in your mixer and double up on all the ingredients.
