Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, heat-treated
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Heat-treat the flour: Microwave the flour in a microwave-safe bowl for 1 minute and 15 seconds, stirring every 15 seconds, or alternatively bake it on a sheet at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes. This process kills any bacteria and makes the flour safe to eat raw. Allow it to cool completely before use.
- Cream the butter and sugars: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat together until the mixture is smooth, fluffy, and well-incorporated.
- Add liquids and flavor: Pour in the milk and vanilla extract, then mix thoroughly until evenly combined with the creamed butter and sugars.
- Incorporate dry ingredients: Gradually add the cooled, heat-treated flour and salt into the mixture. Stir until a soft dough forms, ensuring all the dry ingredients are fully combined.
- Mix in chocolate chips: Fold in the mini chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough for delightful bursts of chocolate in every bite.
- Shape the dough balls: Roll the dough into approximately 1-inch diameter balls and place them on a parchment-lined tray to prevent sticking.
- Chill before serving: Refrigerate the dough balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up, enhancing texture and flavor, then serve chilled for the best taste.
Notes
- Store the cookie dough bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week to maintain freshness.
- For longer storage, freeze the bites for up to 2 months and thaw before serving.
- To add variety, dip the bites in melted chocolate or roll them in colorful sprinkles for a festive touch.
