Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread the flour onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then bake for 8 minutes so it is safe for raw consumption. Let cool completely. You could also microwave it for 60 seconds instead.

Step 2

In a large bowl bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the cream, vanilla, and salt, and beat again.

Step 3

Add the flour, mixing just until combined.

Step 4

Stir in the mini chocolate chips by hand, then enjoy right away or store in the fridge. The butter in the dough will reharden as the cookie dough chills, so you will need to let it come back up to room temperature to soften up if it has been refrigerated for long.
