Instructions
Heat oven to 350°. Prepare two cookie sheets by lining with parchment paper, silpat liner, or spray lightly with cooking spray. I prefer parchment paper.
Unwrap butter and place in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 42 seconds. Butter should be half melted/half soft chunk.
In a mixing bowl, or use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, add the microwaved butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat until creamy, fluffy looking, and pale in color. About 1-2 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract. Beat just until combined, no longer than 15 seconds. You don't want to over beat the egg into the cookie dough.
Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Beat together on low speed just until combined. At this point you can take clean hands and feel the dough, it should be super soft and form a soft ball.
Add the milk chocolate chips and mix together with your hands. Or you can use a wooden spoon or spatula of some sort. I love using my hands because then you just barely mix in the chocolate chips without over mixing, and you can make sure the dough is super soft and the right texture.
Take about 2-3 tablespoons of dough and roll into a ball. The dough balls should look like the size of a golf ball. Place 9 cookies on the first sheet and 6 cookies on the other cookie sheet.

I prefer using a mixing bowl and a handheld mixer when I make cookies. A stand mixer can also be used if that's what you prefer.
I don't measure flour in any fancy way. I lightly scoop up the flour with the measuring cup (as opposed to tightly packing in the flour) and then level off with a table knife or with the level bar I have in my flour container.
If milk chocolate chips aren't your thing then feel free to substitute with semi-sweet chocolate chips or even dark chocolate chips. We think they are best with milk chocolate chips but use what you prefer.

I was looking for a recipe that made a thicker cookie and these came out perfect. Other recipes chilled the dough but tonight I just wanted a quick recipe. Love the tip to mix the chips in with your hands, worked easily without over mixing. Quick, simple and very tasty, thank you!
