Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk (or preferred alternative)
Add-ins
- ½ cup milk chocolate chips
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Flour: Place the all-purpose flour in a microwave-safe dish and heat for approximately 1 minute and 15 seconds, stirring every 15 seconds to prevent burning and ensure even heating. Remove and allow the flour to cool completely before use, making it safe to eat raw.
- Measure and Prepare Flour: Once cooled, spoon the flour into a measuring cup and level it off with a knife to ensure accurate measurement, ensuring the flour is light, white, and fluffy with no burnt or clumpy bits.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the brown sugar and softened butter together for about 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If you melted the butter, let it cool to room temperature before mixing to avoid greasiness.
- Add Flavorings and Flour: Add the vanilla extract and salt to the creamed butter and sugar mixture, then gradually incorporate the heat-treated flour. Mix until a crumbly dough forms; this is normal at this stage.
- Add Milk for Smoothness: Pour in the milk and mix until the dough reaches a smooth, consistent texture. The milk acts as a binder to bring the dough together perfectly.
- Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in both the milk chocolate chips and mini chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Serve or Chill: The edible cookie dough is now ready to enjoy immediately. Optionally, refrigerate it to enhance the texture before serving.
Notes
- Heat-treating the flour is essential to eliminate harmful bacteria, making the dough safe to consume raw.
- Butter should be softened, not melted hot, to ensure the best texture and prevent greasiness.
- Use any milk or milk alternative of your choice to accommodate dietary preferences.
- The dough can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Do not use raw eggs in this recipe, which keeps it safe to eat raw.
