Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1–2 tbsp milk (as needed)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
Instructions:
- Prepare the Flour: Start by heat-treating your flour. You can do this by placing it in a microwave-safe bowl and heating it for 1-2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds. Alternatively, you can bake it at 350°F for 5-7 minutes to kill any harmful bacteria.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the heat-treated flour to the wet ingredients. Mix until combined. If the dough is too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
- Finish the Dough: Stir in a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness. Optional: add chocolate chips or sprinkles for extra flavor and fun.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately or refrigerate for later. This dough can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
