What You’ll Need
- All-purpose flour: 1 cup, ideally heat-treated for safety—you can even toast it lightly in the oven if you want.
- Granulated sugar: 1/2 cup, it brings that sweet classic flavor we love.
- Brown sugar: 1/4 cup, for that lovely, molasses-y depth.
- Unsalted butter: 1/2 cup, softened—trust me, it makes a difference.
- Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon, because vanilla is life… and cookie dough.
- Milk: 2 tablespoons, just enough to bring it all together.
- Chocolate chips: 1/2 cup—which I may have doubled once or twice when nobody was looking.
- Salt: 1/4 teaspoon, to balance all that sweetness.
Easy How-To
Mixing Magic
Okay, so first things first—gather all your ingredients. Seriously, having everything at hand makes the process so much smoother. Then, grab a mixing bowl and combine your softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Get in there with either a hand mixer or just a good old wooden spoon and cream those puppies together until it’s light and fluffy. You’ll know it’s ready when it looks dreamy. It’s like magic, really… Next, you’ll add in your vanilla extract and milk. Mix it all up until it’s one happy mixture. Now, here’s where it gets fun—gradually sprinkle in your flour, mixing slowly so it doesn’t go flying everywhere. Just until it starts to come together, and then, in goes those chocolate chips. Give it a gentle fold using a spatula… you want them evenly distributed! If it feels a bit dry, just add a splash more milk until it’s got that perfect consistency.
Good to Know
- Heat-treat your flour by toasting it at 350°F for about 5 minutes. It’s super simple and totally worth it!
- This dough can hang in your fridge for up to a week, but I honestly don’t think it lasts that long around my house.
- If you want to chill the dough, it helps firm it up a bit. I’d say go for 30 minutes if you’re looking for that perfect texture.
Serving Ideas
- Serve it as a rich topping on vanilla ice cream or just scoop it into little bowls for a fun dessert.
Top Tricks
- Want to add a twist? Substitute some chocolate chips with peanut butter chips or had in some crushed Oreos. You won’t regret it!
