How to Make Greek Yogurt Cookie Dough

1. **Heat-treat your flour**: For edible cookie dough, always toast the flour to remove potential bacteria. Spread the flour evenly in a SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch and heat over medium for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until it reaches 165°F (use a meat thermometer for accuracy). Let cool.
2. **Mix the wet ingredients:** In a large bowl, combine creamy Greek yogurt, a splash of vanilla extract, and your preferred sweetener (like honey or maple syrup).
3. **Stir in dry ingredients:** Add the cooled, toasted flour and a pinch of salt; mix until well combined and a thick, dough-like consistency forms.
4. **Finish with add-ins**: Fold in chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or other mix-ins.
5. **Portion and chill:** Scoop your dough into bite-sized balls or spread in a shallow container lined with parchment for easy storage.
