Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Dough

In a mixing bowl, **cream the softened butter with the sugar** until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.

Next, **add the egg** to the bowl and mix until well combined.

Gradually **add the flour, salt, and baking soda** to the mixture, stirring until all ingredients are integrated into a smooth dough.

Step 2

Incorporate Chocolate

Once your dough is ready, it's time to **fold in half of the chopped milk chocolate**. Make sure the chocolate pieces are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 3

Shape and Bake

Using your hands or a cookie scoop, **form small rounds of dough** and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Before baking, **sprinkle the remaining chopped chocolate** on top of each cookie for a delightful finishing touch.

Preheat your oven to **200°C (400°F)** and bake the cookies for **12-18 minutes**, or until they are golden brown and slightly crisp on the edges.

Servings

These cookies are fantastic as they are, but why not take it up a notch? Serve them warm right out of the oven for that unbeatable gooey chocolate experience! Drop a scoop of your favorite ice cream 🍦 on top for an indulgent dessert. For a delightful afternoon treat, pair the cookies with a steaming cup of tea or coffee ☕. Your friends and family will be asking for seconds, so make sure to bake a double batch!

Feeling fancy? Sandwich two cookies together with a layer of cream cheese frosting for an unexpected twist that adds a burst of flavor. These cookies are versatile, making them perfect for any occasion—from birthday parties to holiday gatherings.

Variations

If you're catering to specific dietary needs, we’ve got you covered! For those seeking a gluten-free option, simply substitute regular flour with your favorite gluten-free flour blend. It's that easy! 🌾
For the vegan crowd, swap out the egg for a flaxseed egg and use dairy-free chocolate. You’ll still enjoy that amazing soft and crispy texture without any animal products! 🌱

Faq

  • What can I do if my dough is too sticky?

    If your cookie dough feels too sticky, try chilling it in the fridge for about 30 minutes. This will help firm it up, making it easier to handle.

  • How do I know when the cookies are done baking?

    Look for a golden edge and a slightly soft center. They will firm up while cooling. Remember, it’s better to slightly underbake them!

  • How can I enhance the flavor of my cookies?

    Consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to elevate the taste! Both provide a warm and inviting aroma.

  • Can I make these cookies in advance?

    Absolutely! You can prepare the dough ahead of time and freeze it in logs. Just slice and bake when you're in the mood for warm cookies!

  • What’s the best way to store the cookies?

    Store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer freshness, you can refrigerate them!

  • Can I use different types of chocolate?

    Yes, feel free to mix and match! Try dark chocolate, white chocolate, or even add nuts for extra crunch!
