It depends on the flour.

White flour is fat-free, though whole grain flour does have fat, about 1.8% by weight. That's because a cereal grain is made up of three parts -- bran, which is packed with fiber and some fat, germ, which contains most of the fat as well as many nutrients, and endosperm, which is nearly all starch and protein.

In general, white flour is made up of just the endosperm, so it is fat-free. Whole-grain flours, because they contain the bran and germ as well as the endosperm, also contain some amount of fat, and thus they can spoil.

Note that whole-grain flours, even though they contain a small percentage of fat, are still healthier eating; there's a lot of nutrition in the germ, bran is a good source of fiber, and even much of the fat comes in 'good' forms like omega fatty acids.

What is the effect of creaming on cookie dough after it is bAKED?

Proper creaming of the cookie dough determines its final texture and the amount it spreads during baking. When thoroughly creamed, granulated sugar begins to dissolve and fat is properly aerated. Thoroughly creamed sugar and fat produce a cookie with maximum spread. When less spread is desired, less creaming is recommended. Too much creaming produces a cookie that crumbles easily.
