1. Add butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar to a medium mixing bowl, sprinkle salt evenly over. 
2. Using an electric hand mixer whip together until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

4. Add in flour and blend just to combined, while adding milk 1/2 Tbsp at a time to thin if needed.
5. Using a rubber spatula fold in chocolate chips. 
6. Store cookie dough in refrigerator (note that it will harden up once chilled because the butter will solidify, you can let it rest at room temperature if desired).

Replace chocolate chips with 1/3 cup (52g) white chocolate chips. Fold in 3 Tbsp rainbow jimmies sprinkles with white chocolate chips, serve with more sprinkles on top.
