Key Ingredients for Your Personal Cookie Dough

- Brown Sugar: This is the secret to that classic, warm, caramel-like cookie dough flavor we all adore.
- Milk: A touch of milk adds moisture, replacing the liquid typically provided by eggs in traditional cookie dough recipes and ensuring the right consistency.
- Vanilla Extract: Pure vanilla extract enhances all the other flavors, bringing that comforting cookie dough taste to the forefront.
- All-Purpose Flour: Regular all-purpose flour, heat-treated for safety, forms the structure of our cookie dough serving for one.
- Salt: A pinch of salt balances the sweetness and enhances the overall flavor profile.
