Ingredients

• ½ cup (8 tbsp; 113g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  
  

• ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  
  

• ½ cup (100g) packed light or dark brown sugar
  
  

• 1 large egg, at room temperature
  
  

• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  
  

• 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
  
  

• 2/3 cup (55g) natural unsweetened cocoa powder
  
  

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
  
  

• 1/8 teaspoon salt
  
  

• 1 tablespoon (15ml) milk (any kind)
  
  

• 1 ¼ cups (225g) white chocolate chips, plus a few more for optional topping
  
  

Directions

1. Beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together in a large bowl on medium-high speed until fluffy and light in color, about 2-3 minutes.
   
   

2. Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat until combined. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
   
   

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
   
   

4. With the mixer running on low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Beat on low until combined. The dough will be thick.
   
   

5. Beat in the milk and white chocolate chips. The dough will be sticky.
   
   

6. Cover and refrigerate the dough for at least 3 hours, or up to 3 days. Chilling is necessary for thicker cookies.
   
   

7. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
   
   

8. Scoop the dough into 1.5-tablespoon-sized balls and roll them into tall, cylindrical shapes. Place the dough balls 2-3 inches apart on the baking sheets.
   
   

9. Bake for 11-12 minutes, or until the edges appear set and the centers look soft.
   
   

10. Cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack. Optionally, press a few more white chocolate chips into the tops of the warm cookies.
