# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The texture hits that perfect spot between creamy and crumbly, like a secret handshake between butter and flour
- Heat-treating the flour takes five minutes and suddenly you are eating cookie dough like a responsible adult
02 -
- The flour must cool completely after heat-treating or it will melt your butter and ruin the texture
- Room temperature ingredients matter more here than in baked recipes since there is no oven to fix mistakes
03 -
- Weighing your flour instead of using cup measures ensures consistent results every time
- Use a rubber spatula to fold in the chocolate chips so you do not break them
