Essential Ingredient Guide
- Cadbury milk chocolate: Choose a bar with high cocoa butter for meltiness; break into small chunks.
- Unsalted butter: Room‑temperature butter yields a tender dough without over‑mixing.
- All‑purpose flour: Sifted flour adds lightness and prevents clumps.
- Brown sugar: Adds a hint of caramel that deepens the chocolate flavor.
- Egg: Provides structure and richness; beat lightly before folding in.
- Vanilla extract: A splash brightens the chocolate’s warmth.

Pro Tips
I find that those tiny pauses let the cookies finish cooking from residual heat. So, when you move them to a cooling rack, they settle into that perfect bite—soft inside, a faint crust outside. It's a simple step, but it changes everything.
