  9. Use a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop to portion the cookie dough.
  10. Roll each cookie dough ball in granulated sugar and top with more chopped chocolate.
  11. Place the cookie dough on the prepared baking sheets about 3 inches a part.
  12. Bake the cookies for 8 minutes, then remove from the oven (close the door) and drop the baking sheet onto a towel-covered countertop about 5-6 times.
  13. Place the cookies back in the oven for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  14. Allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet and enjoy!
