Ingredients

8tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature

⅔cup packed light brown sugar

⅓cup granulated sugar

2tablespoons milk (any fat variety or non-dairy alternative)

1tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1⅓cups unbleached, all-purpose flour (you can substitute a gluten-free, all-purpose flour blend)
½teaspoon kosher salt
1cup semisweet chocolate chips

Preparation

Put the butter and sugars into the Cuisinart® mixing bowl. Attach the flat mixing paddle, start on Speed 3 and, gradually increasing to Speed 5, mix until very light and creamy, about 6 to 8 minutes. Stop to scrape down sides of bowl as needed.
While mixing on Speed 5, add the milk and vanilla extract. Scrape again and then add the flour and salt. Mix on Speed 2; while mixing, add the chips. Stop to scrape as needed. Mix until well combined.
Scoop the dough into desired-size pieces. While the dough can be eaten right away, it is best eaten chilled.

Variations:

Snickerdoodle:

Add ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon and do not add the chocolate chips. Scoop into tablespoon-size balls and roll in cinnamon sugar.

Oatmeal Cranberry:

Add ½ cup rolled oats and ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon with the flour. Substitute dried cranberries for the chocolate chips.

Vanilla Base Cookie Dough

Think of this dough as a chameleon that takes on the taste of its mix-ins—chocolate chips, peppermint pieces, chopped up peanut butter cups, you name it. Create your favorite combo by adding a total of two cups mix-ins to the dough. For the purist at heart, it also bakes up delicious alone, for a crisp vanilla cookie to dunk in an icy cold glass of milk.
