03 - Beat softened butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
04 - Incorporate egg, milk, and vanilla extract into the butter mixture until fully combined.
05 - Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
06 - Drop teaspoon-sized mounds of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
07 - Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Cool on sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
08 - Combine chopped chocolate and optional coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
