05 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

10 - 2 tablespoons whole milk
11 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 - 1 cup heat-treated all-purpose flour
13 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
14 - 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

→ For the White Chocolate Sauce

15 - 6 ounces white chocolate, chopped
16 - 1/2 cup heavy cream

# Steps to Follow:

01 - In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Create a well in the center and add eggs, whole milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until a dough forms. Knead on a lightly floured surface for 5 to 7 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic film and rest for 15 minutes.
02 - In a separate bowl, cream softened unsalted butter with packed brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in whole milk and vanilla extract. Add heat-treated flour and salt; mix until just combined. Fold in mini chocolate chips. Shape into teaspoon-sized balls and refrigerate until firm.
03 - Roll out the rested pasta dough to 1/16-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Using a knife or pasta cutter, cut into fettuccine-width ribbons. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until just tender. Drain well and cool slightly.
04 - Warm heavy cream in a saucepan over low heat until steaming but not boiling. Remove from heat, add chopped white chocolate, and whisk until completely melted and smooth.
05 - Gently toss cooked pasta with half of the white chocolate sauce. Divide among serving plates. Distribute cookie dough balls over the pasta and drizzle with remaining sauce. Serve immediately, garnishing with festive sprinkles or fresh berries if desired.
