01
Step 1
Start by beating the brown sugar and butter together in a bowl until the mixture is smooth and creamy, which usually takes about 4 to 5 minutes. Then, stir in the milk, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Add the flour and mix everything well by hand until it all comes together. Fold in a cup of chocolate chips, cover the dough, and pop it in the fridge for about an hour to chill.

Step 2
When the dough is firm, scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll them into balls. Place the balls on a plate or baking sheet that fits in your freezer, and let them freeze for roughly an hour until they're nice and hard.

Step 3
While the dough balls are freezing, melt the chocolate chips and white chocolate chips separately. Put each in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for about 30 seconds, then give them a good stir. Keep microwaving in short bursts of 10 seconds, stirring each time, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

Step 4
Once the cookie dough balls are frozen solid, dip each one into the melted chocolate to coat it, then drizzle some of the melted white chocolate on top for a little extra sweetness. Finally, pop them back in the fridge for about 30 minutes so the chocolate can set up nicely before you dig in.
