You’ll need:

1¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup salted sweet cream butter, softened
¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
½ cup granulated sugar
1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons heavy cream
¼ teaspoon of salt
1½ cups mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS

BUTTER: You can opt for regular salted butter or unsalted butter if you prefer.

CHOCOLATE CHIPS: Any kind of chocolate chips will work for your dough. You can switch it up every time you make this recipe. Some ideas are white chocolate chips, dark chocolate, butterscotch, peanut butter, or milk chocolate chips.

SPRINKLES: Everything is better with sprinkles and this would be a fun recipe to add a few rainbow sprinkles to the mix.

FLOUR: You could opt for a different type of flour in this recipe. Try almond flour or whole wheat flour as a great alternative.

STEP ONE: In order to kill any possible bacteria that may be present in the uncooked flour, it is recommended that the flour be “heat-treated”. To do this, line a baking sheet with parchment paper, evenly spread the flour over the parchment paper, and bake at 300°F for 5 to 7 minutes.

OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS

If you wanted to heat treat additional flour for another recipe, you can do it all at once and store the extra in an airtight container until you are ready to use it.

STEP TWO: Keep a close eye on the flour, making sure it does not burn. Remove the flour from the oven and allow it to completely cool before using it in this recipe.

STEP THREE: Using a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl and a hand mixer on medium-high speed, cream together the butter, brown sugar, white sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until it is fluffy.

PRO TIP:

Make sure your butter is at room temperature and not cold or melted to ensure it blends well and gives the dough the right consistency.

STEP FOUR: Slow the mixer speed to low and add 2 tablespoons of heavy cream. Continue to mix on low until the cream is completely incorporated.

STEP SIX: Using a large wooden spoon, mix in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed.
