Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Soft in the middle, lightly crisp at the edge, and pooling with melted chocolate throughout. These come together from basic pantry ingredients yet still land somewhere near bakery quality — and a small sprinkle of salt over the top sharpens the chocolate considerably. We use Choco Bliss Crave Milky Chocolate Compound, part of the range we distribute. It melts into the dough while still leaving those pockets of chocolate you want to hit.

Step-by-Step Method
- 1
Line a large baking tray (we used a 11.5 inch by 9.9-inch tray) with baking paper. Set it aside.

In a medium bowl, add 1 ¼ cup sifted flour, ¼ tsp baking powder, ¼ tsp baking soda, ¼ tsp salt. Whisk well to combine and set aside.

In another large bowl, add ½ cup softened unsalted butter, ½ cup brown sugar, and 2 tbsp sugar. Mix well using a spatula or an electric hand mixer until combined. Then add 1 tsp vanilla essence and 1 egg, and mix again until well combined.

Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and fold using a spatula until just combined. Then add ½ cup finely chopped Choco Bliss - Crave Milky Chocolate Compound and mix again.

Cover the bowl with food wrap and keep it in the fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes. If you have the time, chilling it for 1 hour will give you even better cookie dough.
- 6
Take the dough out of the fridge and scoop about 2 tbsp at a time. Roll it lightly in your hands to form a round shape, then flatten it slightly.

Arrange the cookies on the prepared baking tray, leaving a little space between each one. Top each cookie with some of the ¼ cup chopped chocolate chunks and a small pinch of salt. Preheat the oven to 180°C for 10 minutes.

Bake for about 15 minutes or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges. Let them sit for at least 15 minutes before serving so they can firm up properly.
