Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup chocolate chips (mix of mini and regular chips)

Wet Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened to room temperature)
1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
1/4 cup white sugar (granulated)
3 tablespoons milk (whole milk preferred)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (pure vanilla for best flavor)

Instructions

Heat-Treat the Flour: Spread the flour evenly on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through. Alternatively, microwave the flour in a microwave-safe bowl for 60 seconds, stirring every 20 seconds. Ensure the flour reaches an internal temperature of 165°F to eliminate harmful bacteria. Let it cool completely before use.
Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, cream the mixture for 2 to 3 minutes until it becomes light and fluffy, which adds air and smoothness to the dough.
Add Wet Ingredients: Add the milk and vanilla extract to the creamed butter and sugar mixture. Mix on low speed until fully combined to maintain a smooth, even texture.
Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the cooled, heat-treated flour and salt into the wet mixture. Mix on low speed until just combined to avoid overworking the dough. The resulting dough should look and feel like traditional cookie dough.
Fold in Chocolate Chips: Using a wooden spoon or spatula, gently fold in the chocolate chips ensuring an even distribution without breaking them.
Serve: Enjoy the cookie dough immediately straight from the bowl. Alternatively, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Before serving refrigerated dough, allow it to sit at room temperature to soften for easier scooping.

Notes

Heat-treating the flour is essential to make the dough safe to eat raw.
For a lactose-free option, substitute milk with almond or oat milk, and use dairy-free butter.
Feel free to add nuts or different types of chips for variation.
Store any leftovers refrigerated up to one week; do not freeze as texture may change.
This dough is intended for eating raw and not suitable for baking as-is.
