Let’s Get Cooking! (The Step-by-Step)
Get ready for the easiest “cooking” you’ll ever do. We’re talking about 10 minutes from start to finish.
- Heat-treat your flour: Spread the flour on a baking sheet. Bake at 350°F for 5-7 minutes to kill any potential bacteria. Let it cool completely. This is the crucial safety step!
- Cream the butter and sugars: In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until it’s light and fluffy.
- Add the wet ingredients: Mix in the milk and vanilla extract until everything is just combined.
- Incorporate the dry ingredients: Gradually add your cooled, heat-treated flour and salt to the wet mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
- Fold in the goodies: Gently stir in the chocolate chips. Don’t overmix!
- Serve and enjoy: Grab a spoon and dig in immediately. No waiting, no baking, just pure bliss.

What to Serve With This Dish
This treat is a superstar all on its own. But if you want to get fancy, it plays well with others.
Try scooping it over a bowl of vanilla ice cream. It’s an instant next-level sundae.
You can also use it as a dip for fresh fruit like apple slices or strawberries. It’s a perfect sweet and salty combo.
Make This Recipe Your Own (Quick Swaps)
The beauty of this base recipe is its flexibility. Don’t be afraid to mix it up based on what’s in your pantry.
Swap the chocolate chips for M&M’s, butterscotch chips, or even chopped nuts. You can use peanut butter instead of some of the butter for a rich, nutty flavor.
Feeling adventurous? Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dash of espresso powder to the dough for a warm, complex twist.
How to Store Leftovers (If You Have Any!)
Let’s be real, leftovers are rare. But if you have incredible self-control, here’s what to do.
Transfer the dough to an airtight container. It will keep happily in the refrigerator for up to one week.
For a longer-term fix, you can freeze it for up to 3 months. Just thaw in the fridge before you’re ready for your next spoonful.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why do I have to heat-treat the flour?
Raw flour can contain harmful bacteria like E. coli. Heating it to a high temperature makes it safe to consume without baking, which is the whole point of this recipe!
Can I make this without an oven for the flour?
Yes! You can also heat-treat flour in the microwave. Place it in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until it reaches 165°F.
My dough is too crumbly. What did I do wrong?
No worries! Just add a little more milk, one teaspoon at a time, until it comes together. The perfect consistency is soft, scoopable, and ready for a spoon.
So there you have it. Your new go-to for when a sweet craving strikes and patience is in short supply.
This recipe is a total game-changer for busy people who love great flavor. Go grab a spoon and treat yourself!
