Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I like to gather all my ingredients on the counter. First, I cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl until it’s nice and fluffy. The smell of sugar and butter mixing together is heavenly! Next, I add in the vanilla extract, which brings an aromatic sweetness. After that, I slowly mix in the heat-treated flour and salt until just combined, creating a dough-like consistency. That’s when I fold in the mini chocolate chips, and let me tell you, it’s incredibly tempting to sneak a bite. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
