Ingredients:

  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon granulated white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch fine sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. Place all-purpose flour in a small microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the flour reaches an internal temperature of 166°F (74°C) to ensure safety. Sift the flour afterward to remove any heat-induced clumps.
  2. In a separate small mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, packed brown sugar, granulated white sugar, sea salt, and vanilla extract. Use a fork to cream and whip the mixture vigorously until it is pale tan and fluffy.
  3. Add the heat-treated and sifted flour to the creamed butter mixture. Stir with the fork until the mixture resembles sandy crumbles.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon of milk and stir. If the dough remains too crumbly, add an additional teaspoon of milk until a cohesive, velvety dough forms.
  5. Gently fold in the mini semi-sweet chocolate chips and serve immediately.
