To the mixing bowl with the butter, add the piloncillo or dark brown sugar. Using a wire whisk, mix butter and sugar vigorously to combine. Add in the eggs and vanilla; whisk again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Add the dry ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula; the dough will be thick. Add the chocolate and stir until chocolate is dispersed throughout the dough. Chill cookie dough for 45 minutes or up to 72 hours before baking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Line a small baking sheet with parchment. Using a 2-inch cookie scoop, scoop out cookie dough balls that weigh about 50 grams each (about 2.5 tablespoons each). Place cookies on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart, they will spread in the oven. Bake until the cookies have puffed and are a warm brown, about 11-13 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sprinkle cookies with a little flaky sea salt once they come out of the oven. Leave cookies to cool on the baking sheet, about 15 minutes, before carefully transferring to a cooling rack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/atheartpanaderia.com\/recipes\/masa-harina-chocolate-chunk-cookies\">Original<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The original recipe is pretty extra.
