Ingredients
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour, heat-treated
- ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (100g) packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) milk (whole or 2%, or almond/oat milk for dairy-free)
- Pinch of salt
- ½ cup (90g) mini chocolate chips, semi-sweet or milk chocolate
- Optional: chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
- Optional: sprinkles or mini M&Ms
Instructions
- Heat-treat the flour: Spread 1 cup (125g) of all-purpose flour evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, stirring halfway through. Let cool completely.
- Cream the butter and sugars: In a mixing bowl, beat ½ cup (113g) softened unsalted butter with ½ cup (100g) packed brown sugar and ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add vanilla and milk: Mix in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons (30ml) milk. Add more milk by teaspoon if dough is too dry, but do not overdo it.
- Incorporate cooled flour and salt: Gradually add the cooled heat-treated flour and a pinch of salt to the wet mixture. Mix on low speed or fold with a spatula until dough is pliable but not crumbly.
- Fold in mini chocolate chips: Gently fold in ½ cup (90g) mini chocolate chips evenly.
- Chill the dough: Cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up the dough.
- Form cookie dough bites: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to scoop dough and roll into balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray.
- Optional final chill: Refrigerate the formed bites for another 15 minutes for a firmer texture before serving.
