What you will need
This recipe uses 6 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 1 cup heat treated all purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter softened
- 0.5 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tbsp whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup mini chocolate chips
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Heat Treat the Flour
Spread the flour on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F for five minutes to eliminate any bacteria, making it safe to eat raw. Let the flour cool completely before using it in the dough.
Step 2: Cream the Butter and Sugar
Beat the softened butter and brown sugar together with a hand mixer until light and fluffy, about two minutes. Add the milk and vanilla extract and mix until everything is well combined.
Step 3: Combine the Dough
Stir in the cooled heat treated flour until a soft dough forms, then fold in the mini chocolate chips. If the dough feels too soft, refrigerate it for 10 minutes to firm up slightly.
Step 4: Roll and Serve
Scoop tablespoon sized portions of dough and roll them into smooth balls between your palms. Place on a parchment lined plate and refrigerate until ready to serve or enjoy immediately at room temperature.

- Using warm butter which makes the dough too sticky to roll into balls
