Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2¼ cups all-purpose flour (270g)
- 1¼ cups packed light brown sugar (275g)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar (50g)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups miniature semisweet chocolate chips (300g)
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature (227g)
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk (plus more if needed)
Instructions
- Heat Treat the Flour: Place the flour in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until the temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) to kill any bacteria. Allow the flour to cool completely before use.
- Prepare the Butter and Sugars: Place the butter in a microwave-safe bowl and heat on high for about 30 seconds until partially melted. In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat the butter with the brown and granulated sugars on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add Flavorings and Milk: Add salt, vanilla extract, and milk to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until well combined and smooth.
- Combine with Flour: Add the cooled, heat-treated flour to the wet mixture. Mix on low speed just until the flour is fully incorporated and a dough forms.
- Mix in Chocolate Chips: Stir in the miniature semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Serve or Store: Enjoy the cookie dough immediately or chill in the refrigerator to firm up. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 1 month.
Notes
- Heat treating the flour is essential for safety to avoid any risk of foodborne illness.
- You can adjust the milk quantity slightly if the dough feels too dry or stiff.
- This dough is safe to eat raw since it contains no eggs and the flour is heat treated.
- Store cookie dough airtight in the fridge or freezer to preserve freshness and texture.
- For variation, try mixing in nuts or different types of chocolate chips.
