- I’m using simple ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen.

Ingredients Needed
- Butter: you can use regular butter or vegan butter.
- Sugar: we’re using a combination of light brown sugar and granulated sugar.
- Flour: I’m using all purpose flour but you can also use gluten free all purpose 1-1 baking flour or whole wheat flour.
- Cocoa Powder: I recommend using unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Mini Chocolate Chips: I love using mini chocolate chips, that way I get chocolate chips in every bite!
- Milk: feel free to use regular milk or dairy free milk.
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1: Start by heat treating your flour. You can either do this in the microwave or in the oven. For the oven, place the flour in a baking dish and bake at 350°Fahrenheit for 5 minutes. For the microwave method, pour the flour into a microwave safe bowl and heat for 1-2 minutes, or until it reaches a temperature of 165°Fahrenheit. For both of these methods I recommend adding ¼ cup more flour!
Step 2: In the bowl of a stand mixer, or in a large bowl with a handheld mixer, beat the butter, light brown sugar and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 3: Add the flour, salt and cocoa powder and mix until combined. Add the milk a bit at a time then mix. You may need to add more milk to get your desired consistency.
Step 4: Stir in the mini chocolate chips and enjoy!
Expert Tips
- I always recommend weighing out your flour with a kitchen scale! It’s so easy to add too much flour with a measuring cup, giving you dry cookie dough.
- Add the milk a bit at a time, you might not need to add all of it! If you’ve added too much milk you can mix in a bit more flour to adjust the texture.
- I love adding mix-ins like sprinkles, mini marshmallows, chopped pretzels, or chopped nuts! You could also swap out chocolate chips for white chocolate chips.
- Don’t skip out on heat-treating the flour. Raw flour can have bacteria in it which can make you sick, so it’s important to follow that step!
Storage Instructions
Store this chocolate cookie dough in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days. Let come to room temperature before enjoying.
