[recipe here]
Tuesday is here, and TWD presents Chocolate Chunkers!!! These cookies are like... woah. Stupendous, super rich, beyond chocolatey. Yummmmm! I wish I still had some around... but they are long gone, and so is my stash of Whole Foods bulk chocolate ;) Thank you, Claudia, for picking these!!
I honestly didn't think that this much chocolate could fit into a cookie. The recipe called for 19 oz! Crazy talk. There were definitely more chunks than batter in these guys.
True to form, I opted to use dried cranberries rather than raisins. They were delicious! Just the right amount of sweetness, tanginess and texture to add something special to the cookie. (As if it needed anything with all that chocolate... wait.. check out this next photo! That's only PART of the chocolate!)
My trusty #40 scoop worked well, although I overfilled it slightly for each cookie because the chunks were so unwieldy. 
My cookies spread out quite a bit, and I think chilling the batter just a little would have helped keep the chocolate bits in better shape, rather than having them become melty explosions. Oh well... they still tasted great! 
Check out Claudia's blog for the recipe (and if you are a chocolate lover, you should make this ASAP), and all of the other TWD blogs!
P.S. - sorry if I don't comment as much as I normally try to this week, it is kind of crazy!

your cookies are gorgeous! i don't like white chocolate so didn't add it to mine, but when i saw your photos i thought you'd added some marshmallows, and i smacked my forehead...that'd be great. wonderful photos as always!
It should be illegal to create something that luscious-looking - yum!!! :0)
Your cookies look wonderful! So rich and delicious. Well done!
your cookies look great! lovely photos. i like them better all spread out than a ball of cookie which is how mine turned out.
after reading a few other experiences with refrigeration this dough, you'll be glad you didn't. seems it turns into a chocolate rock!
well done!
Mmmm... Craisins. Cookie eater after my own heart. Down with raisins! HAHA. Pictures are gorgeous as always. Great job!

My chunkers hardly spread out, I didn't put the dough in the fridge. I absolutely loved the cookies!!
What nice looking melty explosions those are.
Yum! I loved these cookies. Yours look great!
the white chocolate in the photos are absolutely divine. honestly, i'm drooling over my keyboards now.
This is probably why your blog fits its name so well!
Your chunkers look amazing! ...plus, the melt in your mouth picture makes them even more appealing!
That's too funny - I saw the first picture, and all I could think of was "whoa." And there your second sentence was, confirming my reaction! Yours spread a lot more than mine though, which I'm jealous of. Without spreading, they don't look nearly as attractive, imo.
Wow, your photos are stunning! The cookies look so gooey and ready to eat! I love all of the chocolate!
Not enough chocolate!
Just kidding Ba and I loved them.
Oh my gosh, yours are way better looking than mine! Mine were just really thick and lumpy. I bet the cranberries tasted awesome!
Your cookies look, well, scrumptious - just like the photography. Great job!
I love the irregular chunks of white chocolate contrasting with the dark cookie. Gorgeous as always.
Your cookies look lovely! Great photos!
I seriously LOVE your pictures!
And well, I loved these cookies too! Glad you enjoyed them as well =)
Chilling the batter just made it very hard to scoop. Nice looking cookies!
These look fantastic! Glad you liked them!
these look fantastic! i love the white chocolate in yours.
I agree, great cookies and great photos.
Your photos are outstanding...and the post is always fun, too. Great job on the cookies!
My milk chocolate exploded but the white stayed pretty intact. Weird. I know those cranberries were tasty in the cookies. It was an insane amount of chocolate...
