01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread flour evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes to eliminate bacteria. Allow to cool completely before using.
02 - In a medium bowl, beat softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy consistency forms.
03 - Pour in milk and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until fully incorporated into the butter mixture.
04 - Add cooled flour and salt to the wet mixture. Stir until a soft, uniform dough forms without dry pockets.
05 - Gently fold chocolate chips into the dough until evenly distributed throughout.
06 - Serve immediately for a softer texture or refrigerate for 30 minutes to achieve a firmer, scoopable consistency.
