Instructions
To a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter and sugars. Add milk and vanilla and stir until well combined.
Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt (if using). Mix until a dough forms and no dry flour is left. Add a teaspoon or two of milk if your dough seems too dry.
Stir in chocolate.
Cover and transfer the dough to the fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes (up to 24 hours).
Take the dough out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature while you preheat the oven to 350°F.
Scoop about 2 tbsp of dough and roll into balls. Place 2-inches apart on a baking sheet.
When the oven is ready, place the cookies in the oven and bake 10-12 minutes (longer for crispier cookies). Halfway through baking, take the cookies out of the oven and bang the pan on the counter a few times – this helps flatten the cookies and create that characteristic crackly top.
Remove cookies from oven and bang the pan on the counter again. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
1) I like to use half vegan butter and half nut butter for a slightly thicker cookie with a toasty, nutty flavor.
