Ingredients
- All-purpose flour: 1 ½ cups (180 grams)
- Unsalted butter, softened: ½ cup (113 grams)
- Light brown sugar, packed: 1 cup (213 grams)
- Granulated sugar: ¼ cup (50 grams)
- Vanilla extract: 1 tsp

Directions
Heat Treating the Flour
Option 1: Oven Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C).
- Spread the flour on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet in a thin layer.
- Bake for 5-10 minutes, or until the flour reaches at least 160°F (71°C). This temperature ensures that any harmful bacteria are killed.
- Allow the flour to cool completely before you use it in your dough.
Option 2: Microwave Method
- Place the flour in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave on high for 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until it reaches 160°F (71°C).
- Let the flour cool on a plate before incorporating it into your dough.
Assembling the Cookie Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is fluffy (about 1-2 minutes).
- Gradually mix in the cooled flour. If the dough appears too dry, gradually add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
