Our Go-To Flour

For this recipe I used Bob’s Red Mill’s Unbleached White All Purpose Flour. We use this in every baking recipe that calls for all-purpose flour and it has never let us down. I’ve been working with Bob’s Red Mill for several years and our pantry is stocked with almost every ingredient they produce. I don’t just use their products because I work with them, I use their products because they are truly the best. I love the resealable bag and trusted name. I’m so proud to represent their brand in my baking recipes. Here are some of my other favorite Bob’s Red Mill Recipes:

Everyone will love these chewy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Make a fresh batch to fulfill all those cravings, for parties, or for no reason at all! You can prepare the oatmeal chocolate chip cookie dough up to 4 days before you plan to bake it. Store the cookie dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use. You can freeze unbaked oatmeal chocolate chip cookie balls in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet until solid, about 1-2 hours. Transfer the cookie balls to an airtight container or Ziplock bag to store for up to 3 months. Bake directly from frozen, adding 1-2 minutes to the final bake time.
