Jack-Jack Num Nums

Guys, if you have never been to the Incredicoaster at Disneyland, y'all gotta go. ASAP. I know that's hard with the parks being closed, but hey, give it a go.
Jokes, just wait.
But outside of the Incredicoaster, they sell these cookies, Jack-Jack's Num Nums. I found a recipe on Pinterest and of course had to give it a go!
Here's how they go:
  • 2 sticks salted butter softened or browned
  • 1 1/4 cups packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/4 cups milk chocolate chunks
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chunks for tops of cookies
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and place 8 cookie liner cups onto large baking sheet.Place butter and sugars into a large mixing bowl, beat until well combined.  Note: For another variation, try browning the butter first. Let butter cool for 15 minutes then continue with this recipe. Add eggs and vanilla stirring until well combined.  Add flour, salt and baking soda, stir slowly until dough forms.  Stir in 1 1/4 cups chocolate chunks. Scoop about 3 heaping scoops of cookie dough into each cookie liner cup. 

Press each cookie so dough is even then top with more chocolate chunks, pressing slightly into tops of dough.  Bake for 22-24 minutes, until baked through, starting to turn golden on top.  Remove and let cool for 5 minutes.  Serve warm.
 These are ... pretty good. They taste more like a pumpkin muffin than anything else and that was a bit disappointing. I mean, they're fine and all but they taste absolutely nothing like a Jack-Jack cookie, which was too bad, but hey , they're still a dang good time.
