Valrhona chocolate pearls give these cookies great crunch, but you can also swap them out in favor of an equal amount of malted milk balls—or skip both and simply double the chocolate chunks. For cookies with a super-gooey middle, skip the refrigerating step and simply scoop the dough onto baking sheets and freeze. You can bake the cookies straight from frozen (you may need to add a few minutes to the baking time). Store frozen dough balls in a resealable freezer bag in the freezer for up to 1 month.
