Safe to Eat Peanut Butter Cookie Dough
A creamy, peanut butter packed treat that you can safely enjoy by the spoonful without any baking required.
recipesbynani.comThere is something so satisfying about the taste of cookie dough. This version uses heat treated flour so you can snack on it straight from the bowl without a second thought. It hits that perfect balance of salty and sweet that every peanut butter lover craves.
I love keeping a batch of this in the fridge for when those late night sweet cravings kick in. If you want to make it extra special, feel free to fold in a few extra chocolate chips or a drizzle of melted fudge before serving.
