Note: Full ingredient measurements and instructions can be found in the recipe card at the bottom of this page.
Step 1: Start by heat treating your flour. Microwave the flour in a bowl for 1-2 minutes or until it reaches a temperature of 165°Fahrenheit. You can also pour the flour onto a baking sheet and bake in an oven preheated to 350°Fahrenheit for 5 minutes, then let cool completely.
Step 2: In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl with a handheld mixer, beat the brown sugar, butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Add in the vanilla extract.
Step 3: Mix in the flour and salt and mix until just combined. Add the milk a bit at a time until it is your desired consistency.
Step 4: Stir in the chocolate chips. Dig in and enjoy!
FAQs and Expert Tips

Expert Tips
- I always recommend using a kitchen scale to weigh your flour! It’s so easy to add too much flour if you use measuring cups, giving you dry and crumbly cookie dough. If you are using a measuring cup to weigh the flour, make sure you use the scoop and level method.
- Add fun mix-ins like sprinkles, chopped nuts, mini marshmallows, crushed Oreos, or mini M&M's! I love using different colored sprinkles and M&M's depending on the season or holiday.
- If you’ve added a bit too much milk you can sprinkle in extra (heat-treated!) flour.
Storage and Freezing Instructions
Store this chocolate chip cookie dough in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days. Leave at room temperature before enjoying!
