how to make Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour (120 grams)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup packed brown sugar (light or dark)
½ cup butter (salted or unsalted, softened)
2-4 tbsp milk (more or less as needed)
½ tsp vanilla extract
Pinch salt (omit if using salted butter)
½ cup chocolate chips

Directions:

Microwave the flour in 20-second intervals until it reaches 165℉ degrees, which takes around 40-60 seconds. Alternatively, you can spread the flour on a baking sheet and bake it in a 350℉ degree oven for 3-5 minutes. Whisk or sift the flour to remove any lumps and let it cool.
In a standing mixer or a large bowl with a handheld mixer, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium speed until it’s light and fluffy.
Add the cooled flour, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture. Slowly add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula or spoon. Enjoy your edible cookie dough!
