There 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.

๐Ÿงบ Ingredients

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons milk, if needed

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐ŸณInstructions

  1. 1

    Spread the flour onto a baking sheet and bake it at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 to 7 minutes to heat treat it for safety, then let it cool completely.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.

  3. 3

    Mix in the vanilla extract and salt until well combined.

  4. 4

    Gently stir in the cooled heat treated flour until a dough forms.

  5. 5

    If the dough feels too dry, add milk one tablespoon at a time until you reach your preferred consistency.

  6. 6

    Fold in the mini chocolate chips by hand.

  7. 7

    Eat immediately or store in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve.

๐Ÿ’ก Tips

Store your leftover dough in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week. You can also roll the dough into small balls and freeze them for a quick grab and go snack whenever you need a little pick me up.
