Serves: 20
 
This recipe makes 20 large (two tablespoon size) cookies.
Ingredients
  • 2½ cups milk chocolate chips, separated
  • 6 tablespoons butter, unsalted
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1⅓ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, melt 1 cup of the milk chocolate chips with the butter. Melt in microwave removing at 30 second intervals to stir. Heat this up just until melted - you don't want this to be hot.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla until creamy and pale in colour (about 3 minutes).
  3. Stir the melted chocolate into the egg mixture and stir well to combine.
  4. Stir the flour and baking powder into the wet ingredients. Stir just until combined.
  5. Stir in ¾ cup of the milk chocolate chips.
  6. Place mixing bowl in fridge for 30 minutes to let dough chill and harden.
  7. Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, form cookies into balls and place cookie dough balls on a sheet of wax paper on a baking sheet.
  8. Take the remaining ¾ cup of chocolate chips and press these into the top of each unbaked cookie.
  9. Place cookies in freezer for 20 minutes before baking.
  10. Preheat oven to 350F.
  11. Place cookies on a silicone baking mat lined cookie sheet (place cookies about two inches apart from each other) and bake 15-17 minutes. Let cookies cool completely on cookie sheet before removing to cooling rack.
