Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spread the heat-treated flour onto a baking sheet. Bake for about 5 minutes, then allow it to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, packed brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Use a hand mixer to beat the mixture on medium speed until fluffy and pale, about 3 minutes.
- Add the vanilla extract and salt to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until well incorporated.
- Gradually add the cooled flour to the bowl, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not over-mix, as a few lumps are okay.
- If the dough is too dense, add milk one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Final Touch
- Gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for an hour for a firmer texture.
Notes
Always heat-treat your flour for safety. Customize with your favorite mix-ins such as nuts or dried fruit.
