Step 1

Spread the flour evenly over a large microwave-safe plate. Microwave for 2 minutes, stirring well halfway through. Let cool fully before use.

Step 2

In a large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with an electric mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl, add the cream and vanilla, and mix again until smooth.

Step 3

Stir in the heat-treated, cooled flour until mostly combined. Add the chocolate chips and stir until no streaks of flour are visible.

Step 4

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to portion the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll them between your palms until smooth, then chill on the baking sheet for at least 30 minutes until firm.

Step 5

Enjoy straight from the fridge or let soften at room temp for 10 minutes before eating.
