This chewy cookie dough recipe is perfect for enjoying raw or baking into delicious chewy cookies. Made with simple ingredients, it has a rich, buttery flavor and a soft, chewy texture that melts in your mouth.
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the pure vanilla extract and salt to the butter and sugar mixture and beat until combined.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the mixture, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated and a dough forms.
Add the milk and continue mixing on low speed until the dough is soft and chewy in texture.
Fold in the mini semisweet chocolate chips using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Enjoy the cookie dough immediately as is, or refrigerate it for 30 minutes to firm up before scooping and baking into cookies if desired.
