Milk Bar Life Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

By: Lyndsay // Coco Cake Land

Makes: 18 medium cookies

½ pound 2 sticks, also known as 1 cup unsalted butter, melted and just warm to the touch
¾ cup packed light brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons nonfat milk powder, crucial!
1 ¼ teaspoons Maldon salt flakes
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
2 cups chopped high quality semi sweet or dark chocolate pieces, or 2 cups of semi sweet chocolate chips!

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prep baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together the melted butter and sugars with a wooden spoon until mixture is combined and homogenous.
Add the egg and vanilla, stirring until combined.
Mix in the flour, milk powder, salt, baking powder, and baking soda until just combined – don’t overmix!
Fold in the chocolate pieces or chocolate chips. The dough might seem a bit wet but it baked up nicely.
Dole out the cookie batter using a 2 ¾ ounce ice cream scoop, or use your hands. Keep the balls 2 to 3 inches apart! Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until golden brown. Cool completely on the pan (if you can wait that long to chow on them).
