Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (measured correctly and heat-treated)
- 1/3 cup brown sugar (packed, dark or light; dark preferred)
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
Wet Ingredients
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon whole milk (1% or 2% also works)
Instructions
- Melt Butter: Melt the unsalted butter and set it aside to cool to room temperature. It is important that the butter is not too hot, as hot butter can melt the sugars later and cause a greasy dough texture.
- Heat Treat Flour: To ensure safety when eating raw flour, heat treat it by microwaving or baking in the oven until it is light and fluffy, without any burnt or clumpy spots. Let the flour cool completely to room temperature before use. Once cooled, spoon it into a measuring cup and level off with a knife.
- Combine Sugars and Butter: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the melted, cooled butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and emulsified, about 1 minute.
- Add Remaining Wet Ingredients: Stir in vanilla extract, salt, and milk into the sugar and butter mixture until fully combined.
- Incorporate Flour and Chocolate Chips: Gradually add the cooled, heat-treated flour to the wet ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Fold in the mini chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
- Chill if Desired and Serve: If the dough feels too soft or melted, chill it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to firm up. Then, enjoy the edible cookie dough immediately as a delicious, safe-to-eat treat.
Notes
- Ensure butter is cooled to room temperature before mixing to avoid melting sugar and greasy dough texture.
- Heat treat the flour by microwaving for 1 minute or baking at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes to kill any harmful bacteria.
- Measure flour correctly by spooning it into the measuring cup and leveling with a knife after heat treatment.
- This cookie dough contains no eggs, making it safe for raw consumption when flour is heat-treated.
- Use packed brown sugar for best flavor and texture.
- If the dough is too soft to handle, refrigerate for 10 minutes to firm it up before serving.
