🍫 Chocolate Chunk Cookies with Demerara Syrup – World Chocolate Day 🍫

Celebrate World Chocolate Day with decadent, chewy cookies made with rich chocolate and Bartender’s Secret Sauce Demerara Syrup.

July 7 is World Chocolate Day, and there’s no better way to honor it than by baking a batch of cookies that go beyond basic. These Chocolate Chunk Cookies are soft in the center, crisp at the edges, and full of deep, caramelized flavor thanks to Bartender’s Secret Sauce USDA Organic Demerara Syrup.

By replacing part of the sugar with our syrup, you get a richer texture, a deeper flavor profile, and a cookie that stays moist longer. Whether you’re baking for a crowd or just yourself, these cookies are a celebration-worthy treat.

5. Stir in chocolate chunks.

✨ Why It Works

Demerara Syrup isn’t just for cocktails—it’s a powerful baking ingredient that adds flavor depth and chew to cookies. The molasses-rich profile pairs beautifully with chocolate, and because it retains moisture, your cookies stay soft longer than traditional recipes. It’s an easy upgrade that adds artisan quality to every bite.
