Oven Heat Treating Method:
1 Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
2 Spread the flour evenly on a baking sheet in a thin layer.
3 Place the baking sheet in the oven for about 10 minutes. Make sure to stir the flour occasionally to ensure even heat distribution!
4 Use a food thermometer to check that the flour has reached a temperature of 165°F (74°C) throughout.
5 Once treated, let the flour cool completely before using it in your edible cookie dough recipe.
Microwave Heat Treating Method
7 Pour your flour into a microwave-safe bowl, spreading it out as evenly as possible.
8 Microwave the flour on high for 1-minute intervals, stirring in between intervals to ensure even heating.
9 After each interval, use a food thermometer to check the temperature. You want to reach a consistent 165°F (74°C) throughout the flour.
10 Once treated, remove the flour from the microwave and let it cool completely before using it in your edible cookie dough recipe.
Edible Cookie Dough
12 Mix together the heat-treated all-purpose flour and salt together in a small bowl and set aside.
13 Place the butter and sugar in your mixing bowl, using the paddle attachment or hand mixer, and cream until you reach a fluffy, rather pale color.
14 Take a second to scrape down the bowl before mixing in the applesauce, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
15 Slowly add the dry ingredients in two separate stages. Finally, mix in the funfetti sprinkles and chill in the fridge for an hour to firm up the butter and enjoy by the spoonful or scoop the dough into small balls or bites!
