# Ingredients:

→ Cookie Dough Ingredients

01 - 2 cups (250g) all purpose flour
02 - 1 cup (200g) brown sugar, packed
03 - 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
04 - 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
05 - 2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
06 - 1 teaspoon salt
07 - 2 Tablespoons (29ml) milk, plus more if needed
08 - 1 cup (180g) miniature chocolate chips

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread flour evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 6-8 minutes until it reaches 160°F. Let cool completely, then sift to remove clumps.
02 - In a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and butter until fluffy and light in color, about 1 minute. Mix in the vanilla and salt until combined.
03 - Beat in the cooled, heat-treated flour until just combined. Add milk one tablespoon at a time until the dough comes together. Stir in the miniature chocolate chips with a rubber spatula.
04 - Serve immediately or store in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months. If chilled, let it sit at room temperature briefly before serving to soften.

# Notes:

01 - For gluten-free cookie dough, substitute with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
02 - You can also heat-treat the flour in the microwave in 30-second bursts until it reaches 160-165°F.
03 - If your dough is too dry, add more milk one tablespoon at a time until it reaches desired consistency.
