Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour, heat-treated
- ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp (30ml) milk, whole or 2% (or dairy-free milk like almond or oat milk for vegan)
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup (90g) mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Heat-treat the flour: Spread the flour evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between, until it reaches 165°F (74°C), about 1-2 minutes total. Alternatively, toast the flour in a dry pan over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly until warm and slightly toasted. Let cool completely.
- Cream the butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with a whisk or electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add wet ingredients: Stir in the vanilla extract and milk until fully combined and creamy.
- Incorporate flour and salt: Gradually fold the cooled, heat-treated flour and salt into the wet mixture using a spatula, being gentle to avoid overmixing. Ensure no dry patches remain and dough holds together well.
- Mix in chocolate chips: Fold in the mini chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
- Chill and serve: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer dough to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld and dough firm up. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
Heat-treating the flour is essential for safety. Use softened butter for best texture. Chill dough to firm up and enhance flavor. Adjust milk quantity if dough is too dry or sticky. Variations include peanut butter swap, gluten-free flour, vegan butter and milk, and mix-ins like nuts or dried fruit.
