Salt & Malt Stuffed Chocolate Chunk Cookies

To celebrate the launch of our new 70% Salt & Malt chocolate bar, we baked cookies!  A Salt & Malt chocolatey center gives these chocolate chunk cookies a crispy malty crunch to every bite.

Ingredients

• 8 tablespoons of butter
• ¾ cup unrefined Mascobado cane sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 egg
• 1½ cups all purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 ½ bars Alter Eco Salt & Malt Dark Chocolate, broken into chunks
• 1 ½ bars Alter Eco Salt & Malt Dark Chocolate, broken into squares

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Microwave the butter for about 30 seconds to just barely melt it. It shouldn't be hot - but it should be almost entirely in liquid form.
2. Beat the butter with the sugar until creamy. Add the vanilla and the egg; beat on low speed until just incorporated.
3. Add the flour, baking soda, salt and chocolate chunks. Mix until crumbles form.
4. Roll the dough into 12 large balls.
5. Gently push chocolate squares into the center of the dough and pinch dough closed to seal it.
6. Place on a cookie sheet. Bake for 9-13 minutes until the cookies look puffy and dry and just barely golden.
