Ingredients

  • 2 cups (250g) all purpose flour gluten-free if needed
  • 1 cup (200g) brown sugar packed
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 Tablespoons (29ml) milk plus more if needed
  • 1 cup (180g) miniature chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Heat treat your flour by placing it in a microwave safe mixing bowl and heat on high for 50-60 seconds until the internal temperature reaches 166°F. Alternately, spread it on a sheet pan and bake it for 8-10 minutes at 350°F. Allow the flour to cool slightly before adding to the cookie dough and break it or sift it as needed before adding it to the dough.
  • In a large bowl using an electric mixer or stand mixer, cream together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and butter. Beat until fluffy and light in color, about 1 minute. Beat in the vanilla and salt until combined.
  • Beat in heat-treated flour until just combined. Add milk one tablespoon at at time and beat until dough starts to come together. Stir in the miniature chocolate chips with rubber spatula.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Edible chocolate chip cookie dough freezes well for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight. Allow it to sit out at room temperature before serving again to soften slightly.
