- Beat on medium speed until combined.

- Add the dark chocolate chunks and use a spatula to stir them into the cookie dough.
- Use an ice cream scoop to scoop the cookie dough out onto a baking stone or parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Place in the oven and bake for 12-14 minutes.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately sprinkle flakey sea salt over the cookies.
- Allow the cookies to cool for 10 minutes, then transfer the cookies to a wire baking rack, or eat immediately.
Notes:
- Leftover cookie dough can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for 6 months.
- When baking cookies from frozen, either add 2-3 minutes to the cooking time or allow them to thaw in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours before baking them.
