Preparation

Step 1

Egg Free Cookie Dough
In the bowl of your stand mixer fit with the paddle attachment mix the butter and sugar together for 1 minute on medium speed. Add in the salt, vanilla, and milk and mix until combined, about 30 seconds, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary. Turn the mixer to low and add in the flour and mix until just combined. Add in the chocolate chips and mix until evenly incorporated.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and roll the cookie dough into 1" balls, you will be able to make 30, place them on the pan and place the pan in the freezer for 1-2 hours until completely frozen.
Cookie Dough
When the egg free cookie dough balls are frozen, prepare your regular cookie dough.
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment mix the butter and sugar together for 2 minutes. Add in the egg, yolk, vanilla, salt and baking soda. Mix for an additional minute until combined, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.
Turn the mixer to low and add in the flour, mixing until just combined. Add in the chocolate chips and mix until evenly incorporated.
Scoop out a small portion of dough (a heaping tablespoon) and wrap the dough around a frozen cookie dough ball. Roll the dough into a ball and place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies for 7-8 minutes. In my oven 7 minutes was perfect. The bottoms should be golden brown. Allow the cookie to cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Keep the frozen cookie dough balls in the freezer while you are baking the batches.
