storage/reheating

FAQs
Why do I need heat-treated flour?
I use heat-treated flour because it makes the flour safe for eating in a no-bake recipe. Raw flour should not be consumed without proper heat treatment.
Can I make this recipe without sprinkles?
I can skip the sprinkles if I prefer, but I find that they add color, texture, and the classic funfetti look.
How do I heat-treat flour?
I spread the flour on a baking sheet and bake it at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes, or until it reaches a safe temperature. I allow it to cool completely before using it.
Can I make this recipe dairy-free?
I can substitute dairy-free butter and a plant-based milk alternative with great results.
Can I freeze edible cookie dough?
I can freeze the dough in an airtight container for up to 2 months. I thaw it in the refrigerator before enjoying it.
