Preparation

  • Bake the flour by spreading it on a baking sheet and baking it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes to eliminate any potential bacteria. Let it cool completely.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with both sugars (brown and granulated) for about 3 minutes until fluffy.
  • Add vanilla extract and salt, mixing until well combined.
  • Gradually add the cooled flour while mixing on low speed until just combined.
  • Add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough reaches a scoopable consistency.
  • Gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips with a spatula.
  • Chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 1 hour for the best texture before serving.

Notes

To personalize your cookie dough, add nuts, different types of chocolate chips, or flavored extracts. Store in a covered container in the fridge for up to a week.
