Enthusiastic fans of the Friends star are eagerly anticipating the chance to recreate this mouthwatering treat in their own kitchens. With Courteney Cox’s step-by-step instructions, anyone can embark on a baking adventure and indulge in these scrumptious cookies. To ensure the utmost deliciousness, Cox collaborated with esteemed Chef Paul Cassell to bring you the irresistible ‘Chocolate Chunk With Maldon Sea Salt’ cookie, a recipe she claims to be the most divine she has ever tasted.

To create these heavenly cookies, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 1 and 7/8 Cups Cake Flour
• 1 and 2/3 Cups Bread Flour
• 1 and 1/4 Teaspoons Baking Soda
• 1 and 1/2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
• 1 and 1/2 Teaspoons Kosher Salt
• 1/8 Teaspoon Nutmeg
• 1 and 1/4 Cups Unsalted Butter
• 1 and 1/4 Cups Light Brown Sugar
• 1 and 1/8 Cups White Sugar
• 2 Large Eggs
• 2 Teaspoons Natural Vanilla Extract
• 2 Cups Bittersweet or Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chunks or Discs
• 3/4 Cup Milk Chocolate Chunks
• Chocolate Feves or Larger 1-Inch Chunks from a Bar
• Maldon Sea Salt

Now, let’s delve into the preparation process:

• Begin by combining the flours (or gluten-free flour if preferred), baking soda, baking powder, kosher salt, and nutmeg in a bowl. Whisk the dry ingredients together and set them aside.

• In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the unsalted butter and sugars on high speed for at least 4 minutes. This step ensures a creamy and fluffy texture for the cookies.

• Add the eggs and natural vanilla extract to the bowl with the butter and sugars. Continue beating for an additional 2 minutes until the mixture is well combined.

• Slowly mix the flour mixture into the butter mixture using the lowest speed on your mixer. Mix just until all the ingredients are combined. If there is still some flour visible, don’t worry. You can use a wooden spoon to finish mixing it in.

• In a separate bowl, combine the dark and milk chocolate chunks. Then, using either a wooden spoon or your hands, gently incorporate the chocolate into the cookie dough.

• Once the chocolate is evenly distributed throughout the dough, transfer it to a container or cover it with plastic wrap. Refrigerate the dough for a minimum of 36 to 48 hours. This extended chilling period enhances the flavor and texture of the cookies, resulting in a truly exceptional treat.

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

• Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper, ensuring easy removal of the cookies once baked.

• Retrieve the dough from the refrigerator and use a scoop to measure out 4-ounce balls, which is approximately 1/3 cup in size.

• Arrange the dough balls on the lined sheet pan, leaving a distance of 2 to 3 inches between each one. It’s important not to overcrowd the pan, as each cookie needs room to spread and bake evenly. A half sheet pan can accommodate around 4 cookies of this size.

• Slightly press a larger chocolate chunk into the center of each dough ball, ensuring a delightful surprise of melty chocolate in every bite.

• Place the sheet pan in the center rack of your preheated oven. Bake the cookies for approximately 19 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown and have a slightly darker light brown shade on top.

• Once the cookies are done baking, allow them to cool for at least 15 minutes on the sheet pan. This resting period ensures they hold their shape and texture before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

• When the cookies have cooled but the chocolate still retains its glossy appearance, it’s time to add the final touch. Sprinkle a few flakes of Maldon Sea Salt on top of each cookie, enhancing the flavor with a hint of salty goodness.

So, what are you waiting for? Grab your apron, gather the ingredients, and embark on a baking journey to create the most delightful cookies you’ve ever tasted. Thanks to Courteney Cox’s generosity in sharing her treasured recipe, you can now experience the joy of indulging in a delectable treat that will undoubtedly satisfy your sweet tooth. Happy baking!
