Frequently Asked Questions

Do I really need to heat-treat the flour?
Yes, raw flour can contain harmful bacteria. Heat-treating makes it safe for no-bake recipes.

Can I use store-bought cookie dough?
Not recommended unless it’s labeled “safe to eat raw.” Most store-bought dough contains eggs or untreated flour.

Will these melt if left out?
They’ll hold their shape at room temperature but soften slightly. Best kept chilled until serving.

Can I freeze them?
Absolutely! Freeze in a sealed container for up to 1 month. Thaw in the fridge or at room temperature.
