How to Make Chocolate Cookies Fannie Farmer

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ½ teaspoon salt.
Melt 6 ounces unsweetened chocolate and add to the wet ingredients. Stir in ½ cup milk.
Gradually add 2 cups all-purpose flour, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are set and centers are still slightly soft. Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
