Ingredients

• 1 cup heat-treated flour
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tbsp milk or heavy cream
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 1 cup heat-treated flour
• 0.5 cup mini chocolate chips
• 0 cookie dough
• 1 cup dark or milk chocolate melting wafers
• 1 tsp coconut oil
• 0 melted chocolate
• 0 cookie balls
• 0 flaky sea salt

Instructions

1. Heat-treat flour in the microwave for 50–60 seconds (reaching 165°F) to ensure it is safe to consume raw. Let cool completely.
2. Beat softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy.
3. Mix in milk, vanilla, and salt.
4. Fold in the heat-treated flour until a smooth dough forms, then stir in mini chocolate chips.
5. Roll the cookie dough into bite-sized balls and press them firmly into the cavities of a round silicone mold. Pop them out of the mold and set them aside.
6. Melt the chocolate wafers with coconut oil in 30-second microwave bursts until smooth.
7. Spoon a pool of melted chocolate into each cavity of the clean silicone mold.
8. Place a cookie ball upside down directly into the melted chocolate in each cavity, pressing down slightly so the chocolate rises up around the sides.
9. Chill in the freezer for 20–30 minutes until fully set.
10. Pop out of the silicone mold and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
