Method
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and both sugars on medium speed for about 2 minutes, or until the mixture looks light and fluffy. Scrape down the bowl as needed during mixing.
- Add the vanilla and beat until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each egg is added. Beat in the milk.
- On low speed, add the flour mixture, beating only until the ingredients are just combined. Beat in the chocolate chips.
- Drop 1 tablespoon sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Leave 2 inches between each cookie to allow for spreading.
- Bake the cookies one tray at a time for 10 to 11 minutes. Rotate the baking tray halfway through the baking time.
- Let the cookies cool for 15 minutes on the baking sheet. Then, use a thin spatula to move them to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat this process with the remaining cookie dough.
Notes
Baking cookies until they are golden brown at the edges gives you that desired crispy texture, while the center remains soft. This recipe connects to childhood memories of baking with family.
