Instructions

Notes
- Always heat treat flour to eliminate potential bacteria, ensuring safe consumption of raw cookie dough.
- Use an instant-read thermometer to accurately check flour temperature reaches 165°F for food safety.
- Allow flour to cool completely before mixing to prevent butter from melting and affecting texture.
- Sift cocoa powder and flour together to prevent lumps and create a smoother, more consistent dough.
