Instructions
Heating the flour - We need to cook the flour until it reaches 160F to kill any bacteria. There are a couple ways to do this. You will need a thermometer to read the temperature of the flour. 1. In the oven- Heat the oven to 350F degrees. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle the flour into a thin layer on the parchment. Bake for 7-8 minutes, or until the temperature of the flour reaches 160F degrees. 2. In the microwave - Place the flour into a small bowl and microwave in 15 second increments - stirring after each - until the temperature of the flour reaches 160F degrees. For either method - the flour needs to cool before using. I recommend spreading the heated flour onto a piece of parchment to cool.
In a small mixing bowl, add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and butter. Using a hand held mixer (or wooden spoon), mix on medium speed until the mix is light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and salt, and mix until incorporated.
Sprinkle the cooled flour over the top of the wet ingredients and mix until a dough starts to form. Add the splash of milk and continue to mix until the dough comes together. Note - the milk helps to make the dough more creamy and not so crumbly. Feel free to add more or less to suit your dough consistency preference.
Add the chocolate chips and sprinkles and mix the dough by hand to incorporate. The cookie dough is ready immediately, or you can cover it and refrigerate it to enjoy cold.
Notes
I recommend heating the flour to kill any bacteria. I do not recommend, nor advise, consuming raw flour that has not been heat treated.
