Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 125g plain flour (heat-treated)
- 100g granulated sugar
- 50g light brown sugar
- 90g chocolate chips or chunks (optional)
Wet Ingredients
- 115g unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Heat-treat the flour: Bake the plain flour at 180°C (350°F) for 5–7 minutes or microwave in 30-second bursts until the temperature reaches 70°C (158°F) to eliminate any harmful bacteria. Allow it to cool completely before use.
- Cream butter and sugar: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with the granulated sugar and light brown sugar until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy, ensuring the sugars are well incorporated.
- Add milk and vanilla: Stir in the 2 tablespoons of milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the creamed butter and sugars, mixing evenly.
- Add flour: Gradually fold in the cooled heat-treated flour into the wet mixture until a smooth, cohesive dough forms without any lumps.
- Fold in chocolate chips: If using, gently fold in the chocolate chips or chunks. For best texture, chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving or using.
Notes
- Heat-treating the flour is crucial to ensure safety since this is an eggless dough intended to be eaten raw.
- You can substitute milk with any plant-based milk for a dairy-free option, but it will affect the texture slightly.
- Chilling the dough helps it firm up and enhances the flavor.
- Use unsalted butter for better control over the salt content.
- This dough can also be used as a topping for ice cream or safely baked into cookies.
