  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Method
 

Baking Instructions
  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cookies bake evenly.
  2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the light brown sugar and granulated sugar. Pour in the melted butter and mix until well combined. The mixture should be smooth and creamy.
  3. Step 3: Add the room temperature eggs, milk, and vanilla extract to the sugar and butter mixture. Whisk until everything is fully incorporated.
  4. Step 4: In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cornstarch. Stir the dry ingredients together until well mixed.
  5. Step 5: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; just combine until there are no dry streaks.
  6. Step 6: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and the chopped milk chocolate bar. This will ensure every bite is filled with chocolatey goodness.
  7. Step 7: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto a lined baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
  8. Step 8: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The centers will look slightly underbaked, which is perfect for that chewy texture.
  9. Step 9: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or store for later!

Notes

  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes to prevent spreading.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
  • Experiment with different types of chocolate for varied flavors.
