# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The heat-treated flour trick means you can finally eat cookie dough without that nagging worry in the back of your mind
  • It tastes exactly like the forbidden bites you stole from your mothers mixing bowl growing up
02 -
  • Hot flour will melt your butter and ruin the texture so let it cool completely before adding it to the mixture
  • The dough firms up beautifully in the fridge if you prefer it less sticky or want to portion it into balls for later
03 -
  • Use a kitchen scale to measure flour by weight for the most consistent results every single time
  • Mix the chocolate chips in by hand instead of with the mixer to keep them from breaking apart
