Ingredients

  • ½ cup salted butter, softened If using unsalted, add an extra pinch of salt to the dough.
  • cup packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoon milk
  • 1 ½ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour with xanthan gum I use Bob's Red Mill 1:1 Baking Flour (in the blue bag)
  • Pinch of salt
  • cup chocolate chips or mix-in of choice m&ms, gluten-free oreos, etc.

Instructions

Heat treat the flour

  • In the microwave: Place the flour in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 20 seconds, then use a spatula to thoroughly mix the flour to avoid hot spots. Microwave in 20 second intervals about 3 times until the flour temperature is 165ºF. Allow to cool.
  • In the oven: Spread the flour on a large baking sheet and bake at 350ºF for 5-8 minutes, stirring halfway. Be careful not to let it brown too much. Allow to cool.

Make the cookie dough

  • In a medium size bowl, whisk together the softened butter and sugars for several minutes until the sugars are dissolved. Stir in the vanilla and milk, then switch to a spatula to stir in the cooled flour and salt. Add in your mix-ins of choice.
  • Enjoy the cookie dough with a spoon, or scoop into 1 tablespoon size balls. Enjoy at room temperature or cold from the fridge.

Notes

  • Vegan/Dairy-Free: Use your favourite plant-based butter (or coconut oil), milk, and mix-ins.
  • Storage: Store in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze the cookie dough balls for up to 3 months.
  • Best enjoyed at room temperature or cold from the fridge. Thaw frozen cookie dough balls in the fridge overnight.
