What Is Heat-Treated Flour?

Since raw flour can contain harmful bacteria, it should be heat-treated before being used in edible cookie dough recipes.

To heat-treat flour:

Spread flour on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake at 350°F for about 5 minutes.
Verify the flour reaches at least 160°F.
Allow the flour to cool completely before using.

This simple step makes the flour safe to eat and ensures your cookie dough can be enjoyed worry-free.

Tips for the Best Edible Cookie Dough

Let the melted butter cool slightly before mixing.
Use mini chocolate chips for more chocolate in every bite.
Cool the heat-treated flour completely before adding it.
Freeze small dough balls before mixing into homemade ice cream.
Add a splash of milk if you’d like a softer texture.
Try different mix-ins to create unique flavors.

How to Store Edible Cookie Dough

Refrigerator

Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Freezer

Store in a freezer-safe container or freezer bag for up to 3 months.

For cookie dough ice cream mix-ins, freeze the dough balls before adding them to churned ice cream to help maintain their texture.
