How to Store
These homemade Millie’s Chocolate Chip Cookies should keep for around 4 days when stored in an airtight container.
Preheat the oven to 200°C, (fan 180°C, gas mark 4) and line 2 baking trays with baking parchment.
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.

125gUnsalted butter (softened)
135gBillington's Light Brown Soft Sugar
90gSilver Spoon Caster Sugar
1Medium egg
1 tspNielsen-Massey Vanilla Extract
Step 3
Sift in the flour and salt, mixing thoroughly until a soft dough forms. Finally, stir in the chocolate chips.
Ingredients for this step
220gAllinson's Self Raising Flour
0.5 tspSalt
200gChocolate chips (we used milk chocolate)
Step 4
Break off walnut-sized pieces of the dough and roll into 25 balls. Alternatively, you could use an ice cream scoop to portion out the cookies to ensure they are all an equal size. Place these on the baking trays, leaving 3-4 cm between each dough ball as they will spread out a little during baking.
Tip: Try pressing a few extra chocolate chips into the cookie dough before cooking if you like them extra chocolatey.
Step 5
Place the dough balls in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes for the ultimate Millie's soft and squidgy experience. Leave to cool on the trays for about 10 minutes then transfer onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Tip: If you prefer your cookies chewy bake for 12 minutes or 14 minutes for a crunchier cookie.
