Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough Basics
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, heat-treated
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Add-Ins
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or a sturdy spoon to cream together the softened unsalted butter, packed brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, ensuring a smooth and creamy base for the dough.
- Add Vanilla and Milk: Stir in the vanilla extract and milk until the mixture is well combined and smooth, which helps create the perfect soft dough consistency.
- Incorporate Heat-Treated Flour and Salt: Gradually mix in the heat-treated all-purpose flour and salt, stirring just until incorporated to avoid overmixing and to maintain a tender texture.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the mini chocolate chips into the dough ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout for bursts of chocolate in every bite.
- Serve or Store: Enjoy the edible cookie dough immediately for a fresh treat, or place it in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to one week, allowing the flavors to meld and the dough to firm up slightly.
Notes
- Heat-treat the flour by spreading it on a baking sheet and baking at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes to kill any harmful bacteria, ensuring the dough is safe to eat raw.
- Use unsalted butter to control the saltiness of the dough and balance the flavors.
- If the dough feels too thick, add an additional teaspoon of milk at a time until desired consistency is reached.
- Store the dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week to maintain freshness.
- Feel free to substitute mini chocolate chips with other mix-ins like nuts or candy pieces for variety.
