Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Heat-treat the flour to ensure food safety by spreading it on a baking sheet and microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the flour reaches 165°F (74°C). Allow the flour to cool completely to room temperature.
- In a medium mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer or whisk. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until well combined.
- Gradually fold in the cooled, heat-treated flour and salt, mixing until a smooth dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Transfer the cookie dough to an airtight container or cover the bowl with plastic wrap.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dough to firm up slightly.
- Serve chilled directly from the refrigerator. Can be enjoyed as is or scooped into small portions.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days in a sealed container.
Tips
- Heat-Treat Your Flour: This step is crucial for safety! Ensure your flour is heat-treated to eliminate any harmful bacteria. Spread it on a baking sheet and microwave in intervals until it reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Softened Butter is Key: Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature before mixing. This will help achieve that light and fluffy texture in your dough.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the flour and the butter-sugar mixture, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to a denser dough, which we want to avoid for that perfect cookie dough consistency.
- Chill for Flavor: Allowing the cookie dough to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes enhances the flavors and improves the texture, making every bite even more delightful.
- Customize Your Mix-Ins: Feel free to get creative! Swap out chocolate chips for your favorite candies, nuts, or even sprinkles for a fun twist on this classic recipe.
