Easy Dessert Recipes You Can Make With 5 Ingredients or Fewer
The secret to making this no-bake dessert is two-fold: make an eggless cookie dough and heat treat the flour. Skipping these steps can expose you to Salmonalla and E. coli.
To heat treat the flour, place the pantry staple into the microwave on high for 30 second intervals, stirring in between. Once the flour reaches 165 degrees throughout, it's good to go.
After the ingredients are thoroughly mixed and the heat treated flour is added, it's time to fold in the chocolate chips. You can eat the cookie dough raw or even try baking it. If you do choose to bake the cookie dough, make sure you incorporate some of these unexpected ingredients that go great with cookies.
