Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough (Printable)

Rich, creamy dough loaded with chocolate chips. Heat-treated for safe raw eating.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Dough Base

01 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
02 - ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
03 - ½ cup brown sugar, packed
04 - ¼ cup granulated sugar
05 - 2 tablespoons milk
06 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Mix-ins

07 - ½ teaspoon salt
08 - ¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread flour evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes to eliminate bacteria. Allow to cool completely before using.
02 - In a medium bowl, beat softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy consistency forms.
03 - Pour in milk and vanilla extract. Mix until thoroughly incorporated into the butter mixture.
04 - Add cooled heat-treated flour and salt to the bowl. Mix until soft dough forms and no dry streaks remain.
05 - Gently fold chocolate chips into dough until evenly distributed throughout.
06 - Serve immediately for soft texture or refrigerate for 30 minutes for firmer, scoopable consistency.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • You get all the guilty pleasure of raw cookie dough without the worry, because the flour gets properly heat-treated first
  • This dough keeps beautifully in the fridge for spontaneous midnight snacks
  • The texture hits that perfect sweet spot between creamy and crave-worthy
02 -
  • The flour must cool completely after heat-treating, or it'll start melting the butter and your dough will turn into a weird greasy puddle
  • Over-mixing after adding the flour can make the dough tough, so fold gently once it comes together
  • This dough keeps in the fridge for up to a week, though I've never personally tested it lasting that long
03 -
  • If your dough feels too stiff, add milk one teaspoon at a time until it reaches your desired consistency
  • The heat-treated flour can be made days ahead and stored in a sealed container until you're ready to mix
  • For the smoothest dough, make sure your butter is genuinely softened—press it with your finger and it should leave a clean indentation
