What Ingredients You Will Need

This recipe uses classic pantry staples with a few indulgent twists to take your cookies to the next level. Here’s what you’ll need:

Unsalted butter, softened: The base of all great cookies. Softened butter creates that perfect creamy texture.
Granulated sugar: Adds sweetness and helps create crisp edges.
Brown sugar: Packed brown sugar adds a rich, caramel-like depth and keeps the cookies chewy.
Large eggs: Room temperature eggs help the dough come together seamlessly.
Vanilla extract: Go for pure vanilla extract for the best flavor—it’s worth it!
All-purpose flour: The structure of the cookie. For a lighter texture, sift the flour first.
Baking soda: Helps the cookies spread and rise just enough for that perfect texture.
Salt: Balances sweetness and enhances the chocolate flavor.
Premium chocolate chunks: The star of the show! Use a mix of dark and milk chocolate for the ultimate indulgence.
Optional extras: Chopped nuts, flaky sea salt, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for a gourmet twist.

Pro tip: For the best results, use high-quality chocolate. I love [insert brand] for its rich flavor and perfect melting consistency. And don’t forget to let your butter soften naturally—microwaving can compromise the texture.

Equipment Needed

You don’t need any fancy tools to make these Rolls Royce Cookies, but here’s what you’ll want to have handy:

Mixing bowls: One large bowl for the dough and a smaller bowl for whisking dry ingredients.
Hand or stand mixer: A stand mixer makes creaming the butter and sugar effortless, but a hand mixer works just as well.
Baking sheets: Use heavy-duty, nonstick baking sheets for even baking.
Parchment paper or silicone baking mat: Prevents sticking and ensures perfectly baked cookies.
Cookie scoop: For uniform-sized cookies that bake evenly.
Cooling rack: Allows cookies to cool completely without becoming soggy.

If you don’t have a cookie scoop, a tablespoon works just fine. And don’t worry if you’re missing parchment paper—just lightly grease your baking sheets instead.

Preparation Method

Preheat your oven: Set it to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
Cream the butter and sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the wet ingredients: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
Combine the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chunks: Use a spatula to gently stir the chocolate chunks into the dough, ensuring even distribution.
Chill the dough: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavor and prevent spreading.
Scoop and shape: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to form balls of dough, placing them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked. Do not overbake!
Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Pro tip: For picture-perfect cookies, press a few extra chocolate chunks into the tops right after baking. And if your dough feels too sticky, chill it for another 15 minutes.

Cooking Tips & Techniques

Don’t skip chilling: Refrigerating the dough is key to achieving thick, chewy cookies.
Use room temperature eggs: Cold eggs can make the dough harder to work with.
Measure accurately: Too much flour can lead to dry cookies, so use a kitchen scale if possible.
Keep an eye on the bake time: Cookies continue to cook slightly as they cool, so pull them out when the centers are still soft.
Customize your chunks: Mix in white chocolate, caramel bits, or even peanut butter chips for a fun twist.

If you find your cookies spreading too much, try reducing the butter slightly or adding an extra tablespoon of flour. Baking is all about finding that perfect balance!

Variations & Adaptations

Gluten-Free: Swap the all-purpose flour for a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend.
Nutty Twist: Add ½ cup of chopped walnuts or pecans for added crunch.
Salted Caramel: Drizzle cooled cookies with caramel sauce and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
Holiday Spice: Add ½ teaspoon of cinnamon and nutmeg to the dough for a festive flavor.

My personal favorite? Replace half the chocolate chunks with butterscotch chips for a heavenly caramel-chocolate combo. The possibilities are endless!

Serving & Storage Suggestions

These cookies are best served warm with a glass of cold milk or a cup of hot coffee. For a gourmet presentation, stack them on a platter and garnish with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.

Room temperature: Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Freezing: Freeze dough balls on a tray, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake directly from frozen, adding 2 minutes to the bake time.
Reheating: Warm cookies in the microwave for 10-15 seconds for that “freshly baked” feel.

Pro tip: The flavors deepen over time, so these cookies taste even better the next day!

Nutritional Information & Benefits
