Instructions
- Heat-treat flour and let it cool completely.

- Add vanilla and mix until combined.

Notes
Heat-treating flour makes the cookie dough safe to eat uncooked. Let flour cool before adding it so the butter does not melt. Let bars sit at room temperature for a few minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts. Store covered in the refrigerator or freezer for best texture.
