Frequently asked questions – FAQ

HOW TO HEAT TREAT FLOUR?

• Bake the flour at 350F for 5 minutes before letting it cool then using it in your edible cookie dough recipe is a must. This technique will eliminate any harmful bacteria that could be in the flour.
• Microwave the AP flour in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until it reaches 165F. About 1 minute and 15-30 seconds. Stir in between every time.

How to store edible cookie dough bars?

You can store these CC cookie dough bars in an airtight container, in the fridge for up to 7 days.

Can I make this dairy-free?

You sure can! Instead of regular butter, use vegan butter. Instead of regular sweetened condensed milk, use coconut-sweetened condensed milk. Then instead of regular chocolate chips, use dairy-free chocolate chips, and instead of heavy cream use coconut cream.

The flavor will change a tad bit but it will still be delicious!

How to freeze for later?

You can freeze any leftovers you have in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. I like to slice tiny cookie dough bar bites and freeze them for a super easy grab-and-go sweet treat.
