Egg Yolk Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Servings: 10-12

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

1. 130 g salted grass fed butter, room temperature (preferably Kerrygold Irish)
2. 200 g light brown sugar (1 cup, packed)
3. 3 egg yolks (large)
4. 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
5. ¾ tsp baking soda
6. 220 grams all purpose or 00 flour(1 ¾ cup)
7. ¼ cup high quality dark chocolate, chopped
8. ½-1 full KIVA dark chocolate bar, each piece broken into 3 even pieces
9. Coarse sea salt, to top

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Place the softened butter and brown sugar in a mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy - 3 minutes.

3. Beat in the egg yolks, one at a time.

4. Scrape down the side of the bowl, then beat in the vanilla.

5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda and flour.

6. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and beat in until just combined.

7. Add the chopped dark chocolate and beat into the dough until just distributed.

8. Scoop the dough into balls and place on the prepared baking sheet, two inches apart.

9. Press pieces of the broken KIVA bar into the tops of the cookies(*see notes for dosing tips). Press the tops of the cookies down just slightly.

10. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until just turning golden brown on the sides.

11. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with coarse salt.

12. Move cookies to a wire rack and cool completely.

13. Store in an airtight container.

*Dosing tips

1. One rectangle of KIVA is one serving(5 mg thc). To make cookies each containing one serving of KIVA, top each cookie with one rectangle of KIVA, broken into 3-4 pieces.
2. This recipe uses both generic dark chocolate as well as KIVA dark chocolate to allow for a chocolate filled cookie that equals one serving of KIVA. To make a batch of cookies containing only KIVA chocolate, chop a KIVA bar as evenly as possible and mix into the dough in the final step before portioning. Weigh the dough to get 20 even portions rolled into balls(this will give you cookies with about 1 serving of KIVA each).
3. For bigger cookies with a stronger dose, weigh and divide the dough into 10 portions(this will make each cookie a double serving).
