Ingredients
- All-purpose flour: 1 cup
- Softened butter: 1/2 cup
- Firmly packed dark brown sugar: 1/3 cup
- Granulated sugar: 1/4 cup
- Milk: 2 tablespoons
- Vanilla extract: 2 teaspoons
- Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- Semi-sweet chocolate chips: 3/4 cup
- Sprinkles: 3 tablespoons
Step-by-Step Directions
1. Preparation of the Flour
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and evenly spread the all-purpose flour across it. Bake the flour for 8-10 minutes, ensuring it gets a slightly nutty fragrance which indicates it’s adequately toasted. Allow the flour to cool completely off the oven before mixing it with other ingredients.
2. Creaming Butter and Sugars
In a medium-sized bowl, place the softened butter along with dark brown and granulated sugar. Using an electric mixer set at medium speed, blend these ingredients for about 4-5 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth and lightens in color.
3. Adding Liquids and Salt
Into the creamy mixture, add milk and vanilla extract followed by the salt. Continue mixing until these ingredients are well integrated into the butter and sugar mixture.
4. Incorporating Flour
Next, gradually add the previously cooled flour to the liquid mixture. Mix using the electric mixer until the flour is wholly absorbed and you observe the dough beginning to form. This should take about a minute.
5. Mixing in Chocolate Chips and Sprinkles
Finally, fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and sprinkles into the dough carefully. Ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Servings & Preparation Time
This recipe yields approximately 12 cookie dough cups. From start to finish, the preparation time should take about 20 minutes, with an additional 10 minutes for baking the flour.
Tips for Storage & Reheating
- Store the cookie dough cups in an airtight container to keep them fresh; they can last up to a week when stored properly.
- For a longer duration, you may consider freezing the dough; defrost in the refrigerator before consuming to maintain the best texture and flavor.
- Although reheating isn’t typically required, if desired, you can let the frozen dough come to room temperature for a few minutes or give it a quick blast in the microwave for a soft, gooey texture.
