Mix-Ins
Instructions
Step 1
Melt the *butter* and pour it into a mixer. Add both types of sugar, and mix until the mixture is smooth and slightly cooled down. Add the *egg* and mix for 1-2 minutes until well combined.
Separately, sift and combine all the dry ingredients: *flour*, *cornstarch*, *baking powder*, *baking soda*, and *salt*. Gradually add this dry mix to the wet mixture. Mix just until combined to avoid overworking the dough.
Step 2
Gently stir in the chopped *milk* and *dark chocolates* until evenly distributed. Ensure the chocolate is mixed in quickly to prevent it from melting into the dough too much.
Step 3
Roll the dough into balls, each weighing approximately *100 grams* (or *3.5 ounces*). Place the balls on a tray and chill them in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. For best results, leave them to chill overnight.
Step 4
Preheat your oven to *170-180°C* (*340-355°F*). If using a convection oven, bake the cookies for 12-13 minutes. Without convection, you may need to allow 15-16 minutes of baking time. The edges of the cookies should turn a light brown while the centers remain soft.
Step 5
Once you remove the cookies from the oven, immediately press a few extra *chocolate pieces* into the tops of each cookie. Optionally, sprinkle some *salt flakes* over the tops for an enhanced flavor profile. Let the cookies cool a bit before serving, but they are especially delightful when served warm.
Servings
Freshly Baked and Ready-to-Eat: Enjoy these cookies fresh from the oven for a warm, gooey delight. The melty chocolate matched with a crisp edge and soft center is simply irresistible. If you’re inviting friends over, these cookies make for an impressive treat. ❤️
Turn it Into a Cookie Sandwich: Take your cookies to the next level by adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream between two cookies. The combination of warm and cold will tantalize your taste buds. Perfect for a fun dessert night! 🍦🍪
Pair with a Beverage: Nothing goes better with cookies than a tall glass of milk, some warm cocoa, or a freshly brewed cup of coffee. The classic cookie and milk pairing is not to be underestimated, but feel free to experiment with your favorite drink. ☕🥛
Equipment
A trusty mixer speeds up the mixing process and ensures a smooth, creamy butter and sugar blend. Although a stand mixer is ideal for consistency, a hand mixer works well too. Just ensure you mix until the sugars are fully integrated with the butter.

You'll need one for the wet ingredients and one for the dry—a larger bowl is perfect for combining everything later.
Opt for a heavy, non-stick baking sheet for even heat distribution. Consider lining it with parchment paper for easy cookie removal and cleanup.

A cookie scoop ensures your cookies are uniform in size, which helps them bake evenly. No scoop? A tablespoon will do the trick!

Variations
Gluten-Free Variation: Switch out the all-purpose flour with your favorite gluten-free flour blend. Ensure your baking powder and baking soda are gluten-free as well, and enjoy that chocolatey goodness without the gluten! 🌾❌
Vegan Variation: Use plant-based butter and replace the egg with a flaxseed egg (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons of water). Opt for dairy-free chocolate chips, and you’ve got yourself a vegan-friendly indulgence! 🌱✨
Faq
- Why did my cookies spread too much?
Ensure your butter isn't too warm or melted; it should be softened but still retain its structure. Also, chilling the dough helps prevent excessive spreading.
- How do I know when my cookies are perfectly baked?
Look for cookies that are light brown around the edges with a slightly undercooked center. They’ll continue to set on the baking sheet as they cool.
- Can I use chocolate bars instead of chips?
Absolutely! Just chop your favorite chocolate bar into small chunks. This can add a gourmet touch to your cookies.
- What’s the best way to store these cookies?
Keep your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them up to three months.
- How can I make my cookies chewier?
Try increasing the brown sugar and reducing the white sugar slightly. You can also underbake them just a tad for that chewy, gooey center.
- Can I freeze the dough for later use?
Yes, roll your dough into balls, let them chill in the fridge, then freeze them. Bake straight from the freezer, just add a couple of extra minutes to the bake time.
