A nutty, brown butter dough with chocolate chips, made safe and perfect for snacking or dessert toppings.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 1 cup all-purpose flour, heat-treated
02 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ Sugars

03 - 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
04 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

→ Wet Ingredients

05 - 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
06 - 2 tablespoons whole milk
07 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Add-ins

08 - 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

# Steps to Make This:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread all-purpose flour evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 5 to 10 minutes to eliminate bacteria. Let the flour cool completely to room temperature.
02 - In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir constantly until butter turns golden brown and emits a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let cool to softened state, optionally placing the bowl in ice water to thicken.
03 - In a medium mixing bowl, combine the browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix thoroughly with a spatula or electric mixer until a uniform consistency is achieved.
04 - Add milk, vanilla extract, and salt to the sugar-butter mixture. Stir until smooth and evenly combined.
05 - Gradually fold the heat-treated flour into the wet mixture, mixing until fully incorporated with no dry spots.
06 - Gently fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the dough until evenly distributed.

# Additional Notes:

01 - To store, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to one week or freeze up to three months wrapped tightly to prevent freezer burn.
02 - Heat-treating flour eliminates harmful bacteria making the dough safe for raw consumption without eggs.
