03 - Pour in milk and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated into the butter mixture.
04 - Add cooled flour and salt to the bowl, mixing until a soft, cohesive dough forms.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • This dough delivers that same nostalgic raw-cookie-batter taste you secretly crave, but you can actually eat the whole bowl without worrying about raw flour
  • It comes together in twenty minutes flat and keeps in the fridge for whenever those midnight cravings strike
02 -
  • Hot flour will seize your butter and create weird greasy spots, so patience during cooling is absolutely required
  • This dough firms up significantly in the fridge, so if it feels too soft initially, trust that 30 minutes of chilling will fix everything
03 -
  • Weighing your flour instead of using measuring cups will give you consistent results every single time
  • Letting the dough rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to meld together into something magical
