# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • You can finally eat cookie dough without that tiny voice worrying about raw flour
  • It comes together in twenty minutes flat and keeps in the fridge for when cravings strike
02 -
  • Let the flour cool completely before mixing it in, or it'll melt your butter and change the whole texture
  • The dough firms up in the fridge, so don't panic if it feels too soft at room temperature
03 -
  • Use a kitchen scale to measure the flour after heat-treating, since baking changes its weight slightly
  • Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top before serving—it elevates everything
