Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup (1.5 sticks) salted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup light brown sugar
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
Sweeteners:
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar
Liquid and Flavoring:
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Toast flour on a large sheet pan at 350F (175C) for 5 minutes to eliminate potential bacteria, ensuring food safety.
- Allow toasted flour to cool completely for approximately 10 minutes, creating a safe base for the cookie dough.
- Cream salted butter and light brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until smooth and uniform, developing a rich foundational texture.
- Incorporate powdered sugar gradually using a low mixer setting, blending until the mixture becomes light and airy.
- Introduce whole milk and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly to create a cohesive and fragrant liquid base.
- Gently fold the cooled, heat-treated flour into the mixture, ensuring complete integration without overmixing.
- Delicately fold dark chocolate chips throughout the dough, distributing them evenly for consistent flavor.
- Utilize a 1½-inch cookie scoop to form uniform dough portions, maintaining consistent size and shape.
- Roll each dough ball between palms to achieve a smooth, polished exterior and compact structure.
- Transfer shaped dough balls to a chilled plate or sheet pan, maintaining their round configuration.
- Refrigerate cookie dough bites for 30 minutes to solidify and enhance flavor melding.
- Serve directly from the refrigerator for optimal texture and enjoyment.
Notes
- Prevent Foodborne Illness by heat-treating flour in the oven, which kills potential harmful bacteria like E. coli that can survive in raw flour.
- Chill dough thoroughly before serving to enhance texture and help cookie dough bites maintain their shape, creating a firmer, more satisfying bite.
- Customize flavor profile by swapping dark chocolate chips with white, milk, or even butterscotch chips to match personal preferences or dietary needs.
- Store cookie dough bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, making them a convenient make-ahead dessert or snack option.
