• 1 cup all-purpose flour

1. Heat-treat your flour. Spread the flour on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for 60-75 seconds, stirring every 15 seconds, until it reaches 165°F. This crucial step makes it safe to eat!
2. Cream the butter and sugars. In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This is the base of your flavor.
3. Add the wet ingredients. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is just combined and smooth.
4. Incorporate the dry ingredients. Gradually add the heat-treated flour and salt to the wet mixture. Stir until no dry streaks remain.
5. Fold in the good stuff. Gently fold in the chocolate chips. This is the best part!
6. Serve and enjoy immediately. That’s it! Grab a spoon and dig in. No waiting necessary.

Swap the chocolate chips for M&M’s or chopped-up candy bars. You could even use white chocolate chips and dried cranberries for a different twist.

For a nutty flavor, stir in a handful of toasted pecans or walnuts. A sprinkle of cinnamon or a dash of espresso powder can also add a wonderful depth.

How to Store Your Sweet Creation

If, by some miracle, you have leftovers, you’ll want to keep them fresh. Proper storage is simple and keeps the texture perfect. This treat is perfect for making ahead, just like our fun peanut butter and jelly oat cups that are great for snacks all week.

Transfer the dough to an airtight container. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface before sealing the lid.

It will stay delicious in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For a firmer, almost ice-cream-like treat, you can also freeze it for up to 3 months.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why do I have to heat-treat the flour?

Raw flour can contain harmful bacteria like E. coli. Heat-treating it to 165°F (74°C) makes it safe for consumption without baking. It’s a non-negotiable step for safety!

My dough is too crumbly. What did I do wrong?

This usually means it needs a bit more moisture. No problem! Just add another tablespoon of milk, one teaspoon at a time, until it comes together. The perfect texture is soft and scoopable.

Can I make this without a microwave?

Absolutely! You can heat-treat the flour in your oven. Spread it on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes, stirring halfway, until it reaches 165°F.
