2 sticks or 1 cupUnsalted buttersoften to room temperature
½cupWhite granulated sugar
½cupLight brown sugar
1teaspoonPure vanilla extract
¼cupMilk
1cupChocolate chips
Instructions
Take all purpose flour, salt and baking soda in a bowl and whisk it until mixed. Keep it aside.
In another bowl, take softened butter. Beat it using a wire whisk until smooth. If using a stand mixer (with a paddle attachment) or hand mixer then skip beating only butter. Go with the next step straight away beating butter and sugar together.
Add white sugar and brown sugar. Beat it until smooth and creamy. (about 2 minutes)
Add milk and vanilla. Beat again until mixed.
Add dry flour mixture. Again beat until it comes together like a dough. If doing by hand, then use a spatula and not a wire whisk.
Add chocolate chips. Fold the chocolate chips into the dough.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Preheat the oven to 350 F or 180 C for at least 10 minutes.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat and keep it ready.
Make around 1 inch size of balls from the chilled cookie dough. Place on the cookie sheet a few inches apart from each other, because they will spread as bake.
Bake them for 10-12 minutes in preheated oven or until the edges look set and light brown in color and the center still looks soft.
Let it cool on the sheet for 5 minutes. After that, transfer them to a cooling rack to cool them completely.
Notes
Chill the dough:
Chilling the cookie dough is so important. Cold dough makes thick, soft, chewy cookies.
The cookies will spread out and become thin, flat if the cookie dough is not chilled.
If the dough is TOO cold then cookies will stay tall and mushroom-dome like shape.
If you have chilled the dough for around 2-3 hours or overnight then rest the dough on the counter for 10 minutes, then roll the dough balls and bake.
Do not over bake them to keep the cookies gooey and soft from the center.
