Ever wondered how to make Millies cookies from the comfort of your own home? This recipe is perfect for recreating delicious, chewy, and gooey Copycat Millie’s Chocolate Chip Cookies whenever you fancy them. They bake in less than 10 minutes, so they’re a brilliant idea for a quick dessert - and kids love them.
<h3>The best ways to eat Copycat Millie’s Chocolate Chip Cookies</h3>
Once baked, let them cool down and set for a few minutes before enjoying. Or if you really can’t wait, you can enjoy them whilst they’re soft and warm with a scoop of ice cream.
You can also choose to fill your cookies however you want. Try a combination of milk chocolate chips, white chocolate or dark chocolate. You can even use mini eggs, smarties or M&amp;Ms to make them even more unique
If you prefer a crunchy cookie, leave them in the oven for 10 minutes, as opposed to 7.
<h3>Can I freeze cookie dough?</h3>
You can easily plan ahead with this cookie dough recipe and freeze it to enjoy it anytime. Once you’ve made your dough mixture, roll it tightly in cling film to make sure it’s air-tight, or put it into a container, then pop it into the freezer.
Defrost the cookie dough for around 4-5 hours before you want to make the cookies, roll the defrosted dough into shape and start baking. Or to make things even easier, roll into cookie-sized balls before freezing and bake from frozen; the cookies will still taste just as delicious and hold their shape better due to the quick temperature change from cold to hot.
<h3>How long do Copycat Millie’s Chocolate Chip Cookies keep for?</h3>
These Homemade Millie’s Chocolate Chip Cookies should keep for around 4 days when stored in an airtight container.
