Mom’s Chocolate Chip Cookies
This recipe is taken from the 2014 Milk Calendar. "These are a family favourite, especially fresh out of the oven. Nothing beats a few warm cookies and a big, cold glass of milk. Except, maybe, two cookies sandwiching a big scoop of real ice cream — it’s the tastiest way to beat the summer heat!

Preparation
Preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C). Butter large baking sheets or line with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter, brown sugar, sugar and vanilla extract until fluffy. Beat in egg. Add flour, baking soda and milk and stir with a wooden spoon until blended. Stir in chocolate chips.
Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls (15 mL) onto prepared baking sheets, at least 3 inches (7.5 cm) apart.
Bake, one sheet at a time, for 10 to 15 min or until golden around the edges and set in the centre. Let cool on sheets for 2 min, then transfer to racks to cool.
Tips
Layer cooled cookies between waxed or parchment paper in an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months.
Tip for Kids: Make mini cookies, using a heaping teaspoon (5 mL) of batter. Use candy-coated mini chocolate chips or add colourful sprinkles on top of the batter just before baking.
Add 1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped honey-roasted peanuts or candied almonds with the chocolate chips.
