These are the biggest, fattest peanut butter chocolate chunk cookies you'll ever make! My recipe is simple and is loaded with chunks of semisweet chocolate in every bite. Recipe includes a how-to video!
In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 Tablespoon cornstarch, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ¾ teaspoon salt
With mixer on low-speed, gradually stir dry ingredients into wet until completely combined (be sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl and no dry spots should be remaining).
Add chopped chocolate and use a spatula to stir into the cookie dough until well-incorporated.
8 oz chocolate bars
Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. While dough chills, preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Once dough is chilled, remove from refrigerator and scoop into large ⅓-cup sized balls and roll between your palms to make a smooth ball.
Place on parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing cookies at least 2” apart.
Transfer to 350F (175C) oven and bake for 13-15 minutes (edges may be just beginning to turn light golden brown). Allow cookies to cool completely on baking sheet before removing and enjoying.
Sea salt for sprinkling on top

Notes
Peanut Butter
You could use crunchy or creamy peanut butter. I recommend using classic peanut butter and not the “natural” sort that separates, as the cookies won’t turn out as shown with natural peanut butter.
Chocolate
I like to use semisweet chocolate bars but you can use milk chocolate or your favorite type of chocolate instead.
Storing
Cookie dough may be prepared in advance and refrigerated (tightly covered) for up to 5 days. Baked cookies will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
