Instructions

1. Heat-Treat Your Flour

Place the flour in a microwave-safe bowl and heat it for 1 minute. Stir halfway through. This step is important to kill any potential bacteria in raw flour and make it safe to eat.

2. Mix the Dough

In a large bowl, combine the softened butter and brown sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and milk, then stir again until everything is well incorporated. Gradually add the heat-treated flour and salt, mixing until combined.

3. Add the Chocolate Chips

Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough. Feel free to throw in extra mix-ins if you like!

4. Roll Into Bites

Once the dough is ready, scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll them into little balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

5. Chill and Enjoy

Refrigerate the cookie dough bites for at least 30 minutes to let them firm up. After chilling, they’re ready to enjoy! They’ll stay nice and soft with just the right amount of chew.
