Ingredients (Makes about 12 servings)
- All-purpose flour (heat-treated) – 180g (1 ½ cups)
- Unsalted butter (softened) – 115g (½ cup)
- Granulated sugar – 75g (⅓ cup)
- Brown sugar – 75g (⅓ cup)
- Vanilla extract – 1 tsp
- Salt – ¼ tsp
- Milk – 2 tablespoon (add more if needed)
- Mini chocolate chips – 100g (½ cup)
Instructions
Step 1: Heat-Treat the Flour
- Heat-treat the flour to eliminate any potential bacteria. Spread the flour in a thin layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until it reaches 160°F (71°C). Let it cool completely before using it in the dough.
Step 2: Make the Dough
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the vanilla extract and salt, mixing until combined.
- Gradually add the heat-treated flour to the butter mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Slowly add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough reaches your desired consistency. If you prefer a thicker dough, add less milk; for a creamier texture, add a little more.
Step 3: Mix in the Chocolate Chips
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips (or other mix-ins of your choice) with a spoon or spatula. Stir until the chips are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
- Scoop the dough into small portions and enjoy it as is, or serve it in a bowl with a spoon for easy snacking.
- If you’d like, you can also roll the dough into small balls or serve with a drizzle of melted chocolate or caramel for an extra indulgent treat!
