This Milk Chocolate Cookie recipe makes eight large cookies. These cookies are crisp on the outside, gooey on the inside, and packed with milk chocolate chips.
To a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, add the butter and both the white and brown sugar. Beat until creamed, about 3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla to the dough and mix again. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix briefly again until well combined.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the baking powder, baking soda, salt, and flour. Add the flour mixture to the cookie dough batter and mix again at medium speed until just combined, forming a homogeneous dough.
Add the milk chocolate chips and chopped chocolate to the cookie dough. Mix until combined.
Portion the dough into 8 large cookies. Don’t roll them between your hands, as you want them to bake into a rough shape. Place the cookies onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Place the tray in the fridge for the cookies to chill for 2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (350°F) and line two large baking trays with parchment paper. Place four cookies on each of the prepared baking sheets.
Bake one tray of cookies in the middle of theoven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are a light golden brown and their edges are crisp and the cookies have spread slightly. Remove the cookies from the oven, sprinkle them with a bit of extra sea salt, and allow the baked cookies to cool on a wire rack. Serve and enjoy!

Portion the cookies by picking up bits of dough with your fingertips and lightly pressing them together. Don’t roll the cookies into a ball, as you want a rough, organic shape to your cookies for this recipe.
You can choose to use all chocolate chips or all chopped chocolate for this recipe.
