Method
 

  1. Step 1: Heat-Treat the Flour
  2. Raw flour can contain harmful bacteria, so it's important to heat-treat it before using.
  3. Spread the flour evenly on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5 to 7 minutes, or until it reaches 165°F (74°C). Allow it to cool completely before using.
  4. Alternatively, microwave the flour in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until it reaches the proper temperature.
  5. Pro Tip
  6. Let the flour cool fully before mixing. Warm flour can melt the butter and affect the texture.
  7. Step 2: Cream the Butter and Sugars
  8. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar.
  9. Beat until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and creamy.
  10. This step creates the smooth, classic cookie dough texture everyone loves.
  11. Step 3: Add Vanilla and Milk
  12. Pour in the vanilla extract and milk.
  13. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
  14. The milk helps create a softer consistency while the vanilla adds classic bakery-style flavor.
  15. Step 4: Add the Flour and Salt
  16. Gradually add the cooled heat-treated flour and salt.
  17. Mix on low speed until a soft dough forms.
  18. Avoid overmixing to keep the dough tender.
  19. Step 5: Fold in Chocolate Chips
  20. Using a spatula, gently fold in the mini chocolate chips.
  21. Distribute them evenly throughout the dough so every bite is loaded with chocolate.
  22. Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
  23. Serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes for a firmer texture.
  24. Enjoy with a spoon, scoop into dessert bowls, or use as a topping for ice cream and milkshakes.
