Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2-4 tablespoons milk (as needed)
- 1 cup chocolate chips (or desired mix-ins)
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed until it becomes light and fluffy, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Gradually add the heat-treated all-purpose flour to the butter mixture while mixing on low speed. Continue to mix until the flour is fully incorporated and the dough starts to come together.
- If the dough appears too dry, add milk one tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency. The dough should be soft and pliable but not overly sticky.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips (or your choice of mix-ins) using a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Once combined, taste the dough and adjust any flavors if necessary. You can add more vanilla or a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
For the best flavor and texture, enjoy your edible cookie dough shortly after making it. If you have leftovers, store them in the refrigerator for up to a week.
