Heat Treat the Flour Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the all-purpose flour in an even layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 5-7 minutes until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Let it cool completely before using.
Cream the Butter and Sugars In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of table salt. Beat on medium speed for 1-3 minutes until creamy and fluffy.
Combine the Dough Ingredients Gradually add the cooled, sifted flour to the creamed mixture, stirring gently until well combined. If the dough seems too dry, add milk one tablespoon at a time until you achieve your desired consistency.
Stir in the Chocolate Chips Once the dough has reached the right consistency, fold in the semisweet chocolate chips and any optional mix-ins you desire.
Serve and Enjoy Scoop your delicious edible cookie dough into serving bowls or enjoy it straight from the mixing bowl. This treat is best enjoyed immediately, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
