Step 1: Toast Flour Safely

Spread flour on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes, stirring once midway. Alternatively, microwave the flour in 30-second intervals until it reaches a safe temperature of 165F. This process eliminates potential bacteria and ensures food safety.

Step 2: Cool Flour Completely

Allow the toasted flour to cool down to room temperature. This prevents heat from affecting the cookie dough’s texture and ensures optimal mixing.

Step 3: Gather Luscious Ingredients

All-purpose flour (heat-treated)
Unsalted butter
Brown sugar
White sugar
Vanilla extract
Salt
Milk
Chocolate chips (milk, dark, and white varieties)

Step 4: Cream Butter and Sugars

In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. The goal is to create a smooth, airy base for your cookie dough.

Step 5: Incorporate Wet Ingredients

Add vanilla extract and milk to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until all ingredients are fully combined and the texture is consistent.

Step 6: Mix Dry Ingredients

Gradually fold in the heat-treated flour and salt. Stir until the mixture forms a cohesive dough that’s not too sticky or dry.

Step 7: Fold in Chocolate Goodness

Gently mix in your trio of chocolate chips:

Milk chocolate chips
Dark chocolate chips
White chocolate chips

Ensure the chips are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 8: Chill and Enjoy

Refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavor and texture. Serve chilled or use as a delightful no-bake treat.
