Equipment

You’ll need:
Medium mixing bowl
Hand mixer or silicone spatula
Microwave-safe bowl (for heat-treating flour)
Baking sheet
Parchment paper
Measuring cups and spoons
Airtight containers

Method

step1: Heat-treat the flour

Spread the flour onto a baking sheet lined with parchment. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes, or until it reaches 165°F (74°C) to kill any bacteria. Let it cool completely before using.

step2: Cream the butter and sugars

In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until creamy and smooth. This step helps create that classic cookie dough texture.

step3: Add vanilla and milk

Mix in the vanilla extract and milk until fully combined. The mixture should be soft and creamy.

step4: Add the heat-treated flour and salt

Slowly mix in the cooled heat-treated flour and salt. Blend until a thick, smooth dough forms.

step5: Fold in your mix-ins

Add your mini chocolate chips or any chosen variation ingredients. Fold gently using a spatula.

step6: Chill (optional)

For firmer cookie dough, chill for 20–30 minutes. For soft, scoopable dough, serve immediately.

step7: Serve & enjoy!

Scoop into bowls, shape into bites, or spoon directly from the container — you are officially allowed!
