2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon salt

Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the heat-treated flour and salt, stirring until just combined.

Enjoy or Store: You can enjoy the edible cookie dough right away, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
How to Heat-Treat Flour:
To ensure your cookie dough is safe to eat, it’s important to heat-treat the flour. Here’s how:
Spread the flour on a baking sheet.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until it reaches 165°F.
Cool completely before using in the recipe.
Serving Tips:
Enjoy Chilled or at Room Temperature: For a firmer texture, serve the cookie dough straight from the refrigerator. If you prefer a softer consistency, let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before enjoying.
Portion Control: Use a small ice cream scoop or a tablespoon to create bite-sized portions. This makes it easier to serve and helps with portion control.
Pair with Desserts: Serve the edible cookie dough alongside ice cream, or use it as a topping for brownies, cakes, or pies. You can also roll it into balls and dip them in melted chocolate for a decadent treat.
Create a Cookie Dough Bar: For parties or gatherings, set up a cookie dough bar with different mix-ins like nuts, sprinkles, or candies. Let guests customize their own edible cookie dough creations.
Storage Tips:
Refrigeration: Store the edible cookie dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to one week.
Freezing: For longer storage, freeze the dough in an airtight container or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. It can be stored in the freezer for up to three months. When you’re ready to enjoy it, let it thaw in the refrigerator or at room temperature until it reaches your desired consistency.
Prevent Drying Out: To keep the cookie dough from drying out, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the dough before sealing the container. This will help maintain its moisture and texture.
Serving After Storage: If the cookie dough has been refrigerated or frozen, you may want to let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before serving, especially if you prefer a softer texture.
