Heat-treat the flour
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). Spread the flour on a baking tray and bake for 5–7 minutes, stirring once halfway through. Let it cool completely before using. Alternatively, microwave the flour in 30-second bursts (stirring in between) until it reaches 75°C (165°F).

Cream the butter and sugars
In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together using a hand mixer or whisk until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).

Add wet ingredients
Mix in the milk and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.

Add dry ingredients
Sift the cooled, heat-treated flour into the bowl along with the salt. Mix until a smooth dough forms.

Fold in chocolate chips
Gently fold the chocolate chips into the dough using a spatula or spoon.

Chill (optional)
If you prefer a firmer texture, chill the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving.

Serve and enjoy
Scoop into bowls, roll into balls, or enjoy straight from the mixing bowl with a spoon!
