These soft Crumbl milk chocolate chip cookies are chewy, tender, and loaded with melty milk chocolate chips, perfect for any occasion and easy to make with pantry staples.
Chilling the dough is essential for controlling spread and enhancing flavor. Avoid overmixing after adding flour to keep cookies tender. Pull cookies from oven when edges are golden but centers are still soft to maintain softness. Use quality milk chocolate chips like Ghirardelli for best results. For gluten-free, substitute flour with 1:1 gluten-free baking blend and add xanthan gum if needed. Vegan adaptations include using vegan butter, flax eggs, and dairy-free chocolate chips.
