Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour heat-treated
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ½ cup brown sugar packed
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup mini chocolate chips

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Spread flour on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes. Let cool completely.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Mix in milk, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
  4. Gradually stir in the cooled, heat-treated flour until fully incorporated.
  5. Fold in mini chocolate chips gently, spreading them evenly throughout the dough.

  7. Lift out of the pan and slice into bars using a sharp knife. Wipe knife between cuts for clean edges.
