Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Use gluten-free if needed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened Use coconut oil for a dairy-free alternative
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar Light or dark brown works well
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar Swap with sugar alternatives if desired
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Homemade vanilla is a great choice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt Skip if preferred
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips White chocolate or nuts can be fun alternatives
  • 2-4 tablespoons milk Use almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread your flour onto a baking sheet and heat it for 5-7 minutes to eliminate any bacteria. Let it cool afterward.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until well combined.
  4. Gradually incorporate the cooled, heat-treated flour into the mixture, mixing until fully combined.
  5. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips to add that irresistible bite.
  6. If your dough feels too crumbly, add the milk one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is achieved.
  7. Enjoy your cookie dough as either a delightful snack or a topping for your favorite desserts!

Notes

Common mistakes include forgetting to heat-treat the flour and overmixing the dough. Use room temperature ingredients for best results. Experiment with mix-ins for custom flavors!
