Preparation Steps
1
Allow the butter to soften at room temperature to make it easier to work with. This helps create a soft and homogenous cookie dough.
2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. You can use a hand whisk or an electric mixer for easier blending.
3
Add the vanilla extract, salt, and egg, and mix thoroughly until you have a uniform mixture.
4
Gradually sift in the flour and mix with a spatula or by hand until you get a formable, non-sticky dough.
5
Chop the milk chocolate into small pieces and gently fold them into the dough. This will create delicious melted chocolate chunks in the cookies as they bake.
6
Shape the dough into a large ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This helps the cookies maintain their shape during baking.
7
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
8
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and shape it into small balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and gently flatten them to create flatter cookies.
9
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden brown, but the centers remain soft.
10
Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing in an airtight container.
