storage/reheating

FAQs
Why do I need heat-treated flour?
I use heat-treated flour because it makes the flour safe to consume in a no-bake recipe. Raw flour should not be eaten without proper heat treatment.
Can I make this recipe without chocolate chips?
I can absolutely leave out the chocolate chips or replace them with another favorite mix-in.
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, then allow it to cool completely before using it.
Can I make this cookie dough dairy-free?
I can substitute dairy-free butter and a plant-based milk alternative with excellent 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.
