Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour, heat-treated (or oat flour for gluten-free)
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) milk (whole, almond, or oat milk)
  • 1/2 cup (90g) mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped nuts or shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Prepare your flour: Spread 1 cup (125g) on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes. Let cool completely before using.
  2. Cream butter and sugars: In a medium bowl, beat 1/2 cup (113g) softened unsalted butter with 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar and 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer.
  3. Add vanilla and milk: Mix in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons (30ml) milk to loosen the dough and add flavor.
  4. Incorporate the flour and salt: Gradually add the cooled, heat-treated flour and 1/4 teaspoon sea salt. Mix on low speed or fold in with a spatula until just combined. Dough should be soft but hold its shape.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold 1/2 cup (90g) mini chocolate chips into the dough evenly.
  6. Shape the dough bites: Using a teaspoon or small cookie scoop, roll dough into bite-sized balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.
  7. Chill: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up. 20 minutes works if short on time.
  8. Serve & store: Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week. Freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes

Heat-treat flour to make it safe for raw consumption. Use softened (not melted) butter. Do not overmix after adding flour. Mini chocolate chips melt better and distribute evenly. Chill dough bites for easier handling and better flavor melding. Optional variations include vegan substitutions, peanut butter addition, seasonal spices, gluten-free flour, and protein powder boosts.
