Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 6.5 oz unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
Mix-ins
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the butter and condensed milk: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and sweetened condensed milk until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. This creates a rich base for your cookie dough.
- Add vanilla and dry ingredients: Stir in the vanilla extract followed by the sifted all-purpose flour and fine sea salt. Mix gently until a soft dough forms, being careful not to overwork it to maintain a tender cookie texture.
- Incorporate chocolate chips: Fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly into the dough, distributing them throughout so every bite has a touch of chocolate.
- Shape the cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, form the dough into walnut-sized balls and place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow spreading.
- Bake the cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
- Cool completely: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is properly softened at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Sifting the flour helps to avoid lumps and ensure a smooth dough.
- Do not overbake the cookies as they will continue to set while cooling and remain soft inside.
- You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark chocolate or white chocolate chips based on preference.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
