# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's ready in just 15 minutes with zero baking required—perfect for those moments when you need something sweet right now
  • The heat-treated flour means you can actually eat it straight from the spoon without worry, no raw egg guilt required
  • It tastes like the best part of a chocolate chip cookie without any of the fuss of shaping and baking
02 -
  • The heat-treating step isn't optional—it's the reason you can safely eat this raw. Raw flour can carry bacteria like E. coli, and 8 minutes in a 350°F oven eliminates that risk completely
  • Softened butter is absolutely essential; if yours is still cold, your mixture won't cream properly and the dough will be grainy instead of smooth. Leave it on the counter for 30 minutes if you need to
03 -
  • Don't skip the heat-treating; it's 8 minutes and 100 percent worth your peace of mind when you're spooning raw dough straight into your mouth
  • Use the finest quality chocolate chips you can find—since you're eating it raw, there's nowhere for mediocre chocolate to hide, so splurge a little here
