When they are fully incorporated, you can then add in your egg and vanilla.

Then, add in your baking soda and mix for about a minute. This lets the baking soda become mixed well throughout the dough.

Finally, add in the flour, one-half cup at a time. You will also want to use a rubber spatula to make sure and scrape the dough that gets stuck around the edges.

Last, but certainly not least, add in the semi-sweet chocolate chunks. (You can actually buy chunks in your baking aisle from Nestle, or you can cut up your own chunks from a chocolate bar.)

Then, roll the chocolate chunk cookies out into 1 inch balls with your hands. Place them on a prepared cookie sheet that has been lined with parchment paper. Then, squash the cookie balls down with the palm of your hand. This helps the cookie spread out evenly!

      Chocolate chunk cookies really are better than chips 😉 Sorry about the recipe rating, I have been working out some bugs with a plug-in and theme. Thankfully, I have the problem resolved now!

    Chocolate chips are my favorite cookie. Using chunks to get even more chocolate just makes a good thing better. Great recipe!

    I am going to try this as I love a good chocolate chip cookie. I like them crunchy on the outside and soft and gooey on the inside. If this one is like that, you got me hooked!
