Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
Ingredients
-
1 ¼ cups All-purpose flour (Must be heat-treated, see note below)
-
½ cup Unsalted butter, softened
-
½ cup Packed light brown sugar
-
¼ cup Granulated white sugar
-
2 tbsp Milk or cream (any kind)
-
½ tsp Vanilla extract
-
¼ tsp Salt
-
½ cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
-
Heat-Treat the Flour: This is the most important step for safety. Spread the flour on a baking sheet and bake it at 175°C for about 5 minutes, or microwave it in a bowl on high for 1 minute (stirring halfway through). Let it cool completely before using.
-
Cream Butter and Sugars: In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
-
Mix in Liquids: Add the milk and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
-
Combine: Stir in the heat-treated flour and salt until a dough forms. If it seems too dry, add another teaspoon of milk.
-
Fold: Fold in the chocolate chips.
-
Serve: You can eat it immediately with a spoon, or use an ice cream scoop to portion it into perfect, treat-ready balls just like in your photo.
Quick Tips
-
Storage: Keep this in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or you can freeze it for up to 3 months.
-
Variations: Feel free to swap the chocolate chips for white chocolate chunks, sprinkles, or even crushed nuts if you like a little extra crunch.
