Ingredients
- 1 cup butter (melted)
- 1 1/3 cups brown sugar
- 2 large egg yolks (yolks only)
- 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups Flour *
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt (if using salted butter, only add 1/2 teaspoon of salt)
- 12 ounces Milk or Semi-Sweet Chocolate, chopped)
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in the microwave or melt iiti n a pot over medium-low heat, just until melted. Stir in brown sugar and keep mixing until the brown sugar is completely dissolved and smooth. Let sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes. This allows it to cool slightly before adding the egg yolks (and chocolate).
- Add vanilla extract, sweetened condensed milk, and egg yolks and mix until creamy and smooth.
- Stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Make sure the cookie dough isn’t too warm before adding the chocolate or it will melt. If it is too warm, let the cookie dough come to room temperature.
- Fold in chocolate chunks. The dough needs to chill for at least 30 minutes but preferably 24 hours. You can chill it several ways — covered in the mixing bowl, wrap the dough in saran wrap, or portion out the dough in about 2 to 4 ounce balls and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and cover and place in the refrigerator.
- When ready to bake, heat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the chilled cookie dough balls on a parchment paper lined baking sheet, 2 inches apart. Bake for 11-15 minutes or until the edges are a light golden color. The cookies will continue to set up after they are removed from the oven.

Notes
- For a slightly thicker cookie, use 2 2/3 cups of flour.
- Recipe Inspiration: I was inspired by Food Network Star, Dan Langan, and his debut cookbook, Bake Your Heart Out and his recipe for thick and chewy chocolate chunk cookies.
