These Dominique Ansel Chocolate Chunk Cookies combine soft, buttery dough with generous milk and semi-sweet chocolate chunks for a rich texture and gooey center. The dough is chilled slightly before shaping into large discs to encourage a tender yet chewy cookie with lightly crisped edges after baking.

Ingredients
- 14 Tablespoons butter room temperature, unsalted
- 2/3 cup (130g) granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup (130 g) light brown sugar
- 2 large egg
- 2 2/3 cups (330 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup (100 g) milk chocolate chunks
- 2/3 cup (100 g) semi-sweet chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a light-colored baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine butter, sugar, and brown sugar with a whisk. The butter needs to be soft enough to incorporate into the sugars. Add eggs and whisk until smooth and creamy.
- Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined with a spatula. Fold in the chocolate chunks until evenly distributed. Cover and chill the dough in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes.
- Shape the chilled dough into balls about 2 1/2" in diameter. Place them on baking sheet and gently press down slightly to flatten them into discs.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes, until the edges are a light golden color and the center is soft and gooey. Let the cookies cool for 5-10 minutes and then enjoy!

Notes
- Brown butter before mixing to deepen the flavor of the cookies.
- Chill the dough for 24 to 48 hours to enhance texture and flavor development.
- Use high-quality chocolate bars, such as Lindt or Trader Joe's Pound Plus Bars, for chunk pieces.
- Adding extra brown sugar and chocolate chunks can enrich sweetness and chocolate presence.
