butter

chocolate chips

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate chips

💰Cheaper: chocolate chunks

Dark chocolate has less sugar and more antioxidants, while chocolate chunks can be less expensive.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Cut 1/2 cup of cold butter into chunks and place it in a mixing bowl.

Add 1 cup of granulated sugar to the bowl with the butter.

Using an electric mixer with a whisk attachment, mix the butter and sugar starting on low speed and increasing as needed until the butter is broken down and no chunks remain.

Add 1 egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture and mix until well combined.

Add 3 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk (optional) to the mixture and scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is mixed well.

Add 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to the bowl and mix just until the dry ingredients are incorporated, being careful not to overmix.

Fold in 1 1/2 cups of semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed in the dough.

Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Using a 2 teaspoon scoop, portion out the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space for the cookies to spread.

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 14 to 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Once baked, slide the parchment paper with the cookies onto a cooling rack to cool.

Enjoy at least one cookie while warm and store the rest in an airtight container once completely cooled.
