Equipment

baking sheet

Ingredients

¾ cup butter, softened
1 ¼ cups brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
½ cup malted milk powder (like Carnation)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 large egg
2 cups flour (270 grams)
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chunks (like Baker's)
1 cup milk chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with silicon baking mats or parchment paper; set aside.
In a large bowl or stand up mixer, use an electric mixer to beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy; about a minute. Then, add in the cocoa powder, milk powder, vanilla, and egg, and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing well to combine. Fold in the chocolate chunks and chips.
Use a cookie scoop to scoop out evenly shaped balls of dough on to baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Bake for 12 or until the edges start to set. Cool on wire rack completely.

Notes

You can find malted milk powder in the coffee aisle or baking aisle of most grocery stores. The malt adds a rich flavor and makes these the best chocolate chip cookie ever.
The combination of chocolate chunks and chips add texture and flavor to the cookie. You can use dark chocolate chunks or semi sweet.
