Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated for safety)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened 🧈
- ½ cup packed brown sugar 🍯
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract 🍦
- 2 tbsp milk (more as needed for desired consistency) 🥛
- ½ tsp salt 🧂
- ½ cup chocolate chips (or other mix-ins like peanut butter chips, sprinkles, or chopped nuts)
Instructions
- Heat-Treat the Flour
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the flour on a baking sheet and bake for 5-10 minutes or until it reaches 160°F to kill any potential bacteria.
- Cream Butter and Sugars
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- Add Vanilla and Milk
- Mix in the vanilla extract and milk. For a softer dough, add a bit more milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you achieve your preferred consistency.
- Combine Dry Ingredients
- Gradually add the heat-treated flour and salt to the mixture, stirring until well combined.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips (or your preferred mix-ins), ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Serve and Enjoy!
- Scoop the dough into bowls, jars, or enjoy straight from the mixing bowl!
Notes
- Storage: Store edible cookie dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for up to three months.
- Mix-In Ideas: Try adding chopped nuts, M&Ms, mini marshmallows, or white chocolate chips for a fun twist.
- Heat-Treating Alternatives: If you don’t want to use the oven, heat-treat the flour in the microwave in 30-second intervals until it reaches 160°F.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve with pretzel sticks, fresh fruit, or use it as an ice cream topping!
