Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the dough
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Heat-treated before use
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed Use light or dark as preferred
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened Room temperature; can substitute unsalted and add a pinch more salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk Dairy or any plant milk
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips Mini chips work great
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the all-purpose flour on a baking sheet. Bake for 5–10 minutes to heat-treat; the flour should feel warm and lose any raw smell. Let the flour cool completely.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with the brown and granulated sugars until smooth and slightly fluffy.
  3. Stir in the vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons milk until combined. Add more milk a teaspoon at a time if you want a softer dough.
  4. Add the cooled, heat-treated flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt gradually. Mix until fully incorporated and the dough comes together.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly through the dough.
Serving and Storing
  1. Serve immediately by the spoonful, or chill in the fridge for 20–30 minutes if you prefer firmer scoops. Store leftover dough in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Notes

For richer taste, use browned butter (cool it first). This dough is customizable; try substitute ingredients for different flavors such as nut butters or various mix-ins. Freezing tips: Portion into tablespoon-sized balls and freeze until solid for up to 3 months.
