Mix the ingredients on low speed until incorporated, then increase speed slightly without overmixing.

Add 1 large egg to the mixture and combine until just mixed.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups self-raising flour, 1 cup plain flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture on low speed until just combined.

Fold in the milk chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Weigh each cookie dough ball to 150 grams for consistency, yielding about 8 cookies.

Place the cookie dough balls on a baking tray; do not roll them into perfect balls to maintain a chunky shape.

Chill the cookie dough in the fridge for 3 hours to overnight, or in the freezer for 20-30 minutes if in a rush.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).

Bake the cookies for 15-16 minutes, checking for a golden top and soft center.

Let the cookies cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
