Chocolate Chunks
I bought bake stable chocolate chunks to bake these cookies, that is, the chocolate chunks do not melt into chocolate puddle while under high baking heat.
If you do not mind messy puddles, you can certainly chop chocolate bars and use it in this cookie recipe. Otherwise, you can also use chocolate chips!

What’s Different About This Cookie Recipe?
This recipe uses half caster sugar and half brown sugar, which you really won’t want to miss out on – the brown sugar gives the cookies the deep flavour.
If you don’t like almonds, you can omit that, or swap with other types of chopped nuts.
Lastly, you can use a mini cookie scoop for this cute round look. Or otherwise, if you like a more rustic look to the cookies, simply use 1.5 to 2 teaspoons amount to drop the cookie dough.
How Do These Cookies Taste Like?
These cookies are crunchy to bite, and is slightly airy on the inside. Which is really good because it’s so light!
If you prefer a denser and crunchier cookie, check out the previous crunchy chocolate chip cookie recipe that uses just 6 ingredients. That recipe also uses simpler ingredients (no brown sugar needed)!
Crunchy Chocolate Chunk Cookies
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 20 minutes
- Total Time: 35 minutes
Description
These are light, crunchy chocolate chunk cookies with a nutty crunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 150 g plain flour
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 75 g unsalted butter, (softened)
- 60 g caster sugar
- 60 g brown sugar
- 45 g egg, beaten
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 tsp vanilla
- 150 g chocolate chunks or chips
- 60 g diced almonds
Instructions
- Whisk together flour and baking soda. Place softened butter and both sugar in a mixing bowl. Whisk till pale and fluffy.
- Add in egg in 2 batches. Whisk till well combined. Add in vanilla extract.
- Sift in the flour mixture. Using a spatula, fold to mix well and ensure there is no trace of white flour left.
- Fold in nuts and chocolate chunks till well distributed.
- Place cookie dough in the fridge to chill for at least 30 min or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 160C fan forced. Line baking tray with baking paper. Use a mini cookie scoop or 1.5 – 2 teaspoons amount to drop dough onto tray.
- Take note to leave ample space in between the cookie dough. You can also place more some chocolate chips on the top of the dough if preferred.
- Bake at 160C fan forced for 20-23 min till nicely browned and edges darkened. You might want to rotate your baking tray halfway through the baking if heat distribution in your oven is not even. Cookies will be soft while fresh out from oven but will harden as they cool.
- Cool completely before storing in air-tight container.
Notes
Baking time of 20 mins apply for the mini cookie scoop size. If you use teaspoons, watch the oven from 15min onwards.

I noticed that this recipe calls for baking soda but your other cookies recipe calls for baking powder. Can I use baking powder instead of baking soda for this recipe? Thanks.
Hi there Ser Ser, thanks for visiting! The cookies may turn out different if baking powder is used. Would you like to try this recipe instead? https://cherienoms.com/2017/11/crunchy-chocolate-chip-cookies.html
