Milk Bar's Salted Chocolate Chip Cookies

• servings: 15 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

½ pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and just warm to the touch

¾ cup packed light brown sugar

½ cup granulated sugar

1 egg

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons nonfat milk powder

1 ¼ teaspoons kosher salt

½ teaspoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon baking soda

12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips*

1/4 cup flaky sea salt (, for sprinkling on top before baking)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

With a wooden spoon, mix the sugars together in a large bowl and add the melted butter. Stir vigorously for about a minute or more. Mix the egg and vanilla in the measuring cup you used for the sugar and add to the mixture. Stir until the mix gathers a glossy sheen, about 1 more minute.

Mix in the flour, milk powder, kosher salt, baking powder, and baking soda until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and mix until evenly distributed.

Use a #24 squeeze handle scoop to portion the dough (or lightly form it into balls about the size of a golf ball) and place them on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper about 2 to 3 inches apart. Sprinkle the tops of each cookie with some of the flaky sea salt (note that you may not need to use all of the reserved 1/4 cup of salt)

Bake for 9-11 minutes or until golden brown around the edges but still soft in the middle. The cookies will fall as they cool. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
