My Crazy Cookie Dough recipe is the absolute perfect blank canvas for all of your favorite cookie flavors!
In a large bowl add in the melted butter, both sugars, eggs, and vanilla extract and whisk together until combined.
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir with a spatula to form your cookie dough. IMPORTANT STEP: Now, chill the dough for a minimum of 2 hours before scooping to avoid the cookies from spreading while baking.
Using a 1/4 cup measure, scoop the cookie dough base into roughly 14 cookies (weighing roughly 2 1/2 oz each)
Press your chocolate chunks into your base cookie and fold the cookie dough over itself to make sure the chocolate chunks are distributed throughout

When ready to bake preheat the oven to 375ºF (185°C).
Roughly shape the cookies back into balls of dough before placing the cookies on a large parchment-lined cookie sheet about 4 inches apart. TIP: Do Not Flatten the cookies! Leave them to bake as a rounded scoop of dough. This will ensure your cookies don't spread out too much.
Bake for roughly 12 minutes or until you can still see it is doughy in the center but browning around the edge. Resist the urge to bake for longer as you will over bake it and lose that gooey center.
Let cool on the sheet for 5 minutes then enjoy. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Pan Bang: Once the cookies come straight out of the oven immediately BANG that pan on a hard kitchen counter. This banging will help the cookies fall and settle leaving you with lovely, ripples and cracks on your cookie.
Eggless Crazy Cookie Dough: See my Egg Substitutes for Baking Chart and use condensed milk or flax seed.
Freezing the dough: the raw dough can be scooped and frozen for up to 6 weeks. Allow to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before baking.
