How to make cookie dough

• Start with room temperature butter. This will help you easily mix together the butter and sugar creating that deliciously creamy texture.
• We use both caster sugar and brown sugar in this recipe. If you don’t have access to caster sugar, you can use granulated sugar instead. Read more about caster sugar here.
• A generous teaspoon of vanilla extract adds extra flavour.
• The final ingredient of the cookie dough base is plain flour or all purpose flour. Because the flour won’t be baked, heat treated flour is best.
• Then comes the mix-ins. I recommend adding a handful of funfetti sprinkles, chocolate chips and white chocolate chips. But you can customise it as you wish!

heat treated flour

• If you prefer not to eat raw flour due to bacteria concerns, you can use heat treated flour. You can buy this as a product online. Or Sally’s Baking Addiction suggests the following method for heat treating flour at home.
• Spread your plain or all purpose flour onto a rimmed baking tray. Use a little more than the recipe calls for in case some clumps or discolours.
• Place in oven that’s preheated to 150 C (300 F). Stir flour occasionally and check every 2 minutes until the flour has reached 74 C (165 F). You can test this using an instant-read thermometer.
• Leave to cool completely. Then sift flour, discarding any lumps, and give it a quick whisk before using as per normal.
