Millie’s Cookies with Chocolate Chips

This recipe is ideal for making delectable, chewy, and gooey Copycat Millie’s cookies right in your own kitchen. They bake in under 10 minutes, making them a fantastic option for a speedy dessert – and kids absolutely adore them.

For enjoying Copycat Millie’s chocolate chip cookies to the fullest, allow them to cool and set for a few minutes after baking. However, if you can’t resist, indulge in them while they’re still soft and warm, perhaps paired with a scoop of ice cream.

Furthermore, customize your cookies to your heart’s content. Experiment with a mix of milk chocolate chips, white chocolate, or dark chocolate. You can even incorporate mini eggs, Smarties, or M&Ms to add a unique twist.

If you prefer a crispy texture, extend the baking time to 10 minutes instead of 7.

Can I freeze cookie dough?

You can easily plan ahead with this cookie dough recipe and freeze it to enjoy it anytime. Once you’ve made your dough mixture, roll it tightly in cling film to make sure it’s air-tight, or put it into a container, then pop it into the freezer.

Defrost the cookie dough for around 4-5 hours before you want to make the cookies, roll the defrosted dough into shape and start baking. Or to make things even easier, roll into cookie-sized balls before freezing and bake from frozen; the cookies will still taste just as delicious and hold their shape better due to the quick temperature change from cold to hot.

How long do Copycat Millie’s cookies keep for?

These homemade Millie’s chocolate chip cookies should keep for around 4 days when stored in an airtight container.

1. Step 1:Preheat the oven to 200°C, (fan 180°C, gas mark 4) and line 2 baking trays with baking parchment.
2. Step 2:Cream the butter and sugars in a large mixing bowl until pale and fluffy. Then add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix well until smooth.
3. Step 3:Sift the flour and salt, then add the egg, mixing thoroughly until a soft dough forms. Finally, stir in the chocolate chips.
4. Step 4:Break off walnut-sized pieces of the dough and roll into balls. Place these on the baking trays, leaving 3-4 cm between each dough ball as they will spread out during baking.
5. Step 5:Place the dough balls in the oven and bake for 7 minutes for the ultimate Millie’s experience, or 10 minutes if you prefer your cookies with a crunch. Leave to cool on the trays for about 10 minutes then transfer onto a wire rack to cool completely.
