Is it bad to eat raw flour?
A new warning about eating raw flour has come out. To keep this cookie dough safe, I highly advise you do one of these things to toast the flour before using it in this recipe:
- Toast the flour for 5 minutes. Just spread the flour out thinly on a piece of parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Cook on 325 for 5-8 minutes. This will cook out any potential bacteria issues.
- You can also toast raw flour in a frying pan. Cook while whisking constantly over medium heat for 5 minutes. Cook in small batches so that all flour toasts.

I saw there was someone who was gonna use Almond Flour but never said how it worked out. Has anyone tried it? Pregnant and need sinful snacks but too pregnant to handle the disappointment of it not working out lol.
Sandi Gaertner
I never heard about the almond flour. My first thought is the texture would be a bit gritty with almond flour. Are you trying to avoid the carbs in gluten free flour? I am not sure why you want only almond flour but if I know the reason I may be able to suggest something else.

Thanks for sharing such a wonderful recipe.

You are very welcome 🙂

I made this and didn’t wait long enough for the butter to cool so I refrigerated before adding the chocolate chips. Mine turned out so crumbly...not sticky/gooey at all. Any ideas on why that happened?
Sandi Gaertner
Hi Vanessa, it could be a couple of issues. One, it was crumbly because your butter was very cold. It could also depend on the gluten free flour blend you used, and the flour/starch ratio of that blend.
