Why You'll Love These Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Bites
If you love sneaking spoonfuls of cookie dough, these edible Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Bites are made just for you. Since they're prepared with heat-treated flour and contain no raw eggs, they're perfectly safe to enjoy straight from the bowl.
Each bite is soft, creamy, packed with peanut butter flavor, and loaded with mini chocolate chips. Best of all, they're completely no-bake and come together in about 20 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1¼ cups heat-treated all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 to 4 tablespoons milk
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons mini peanut butter chips (optional)
Instructions
1. Cream the Base
Beat together the peanut butter, butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
2. Add the Dry Ingredients
Mix in the heat-treated flour and salt until combined.
3. Adjust the Texture
Add the milk one tablespoon at a time until the dough reaches a soft, scoopable consistency.
4. Fold in the Chips
Stir in the mini chocolate chips and optional peanut butter chips.
5. Shape the Bites
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll into smooth balls using your hands or a small cookie scoop.
6. Chill and Serve
Place the bites on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes before serving.
Expert Tips
Always heat-treat flour before using it in edible cookie dough. Use creamy peanut butter for the smoothest texture, and chill the dough if it becomes too soft to roll. Mini chocolate chips distribute more evenly throughout the bites than regular-sized chips.
Storage
Store the bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze them for up to three months. Enjoy them chilled or allow them to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
Serving Suggestions
Enjoy these bites as an afternoon snack, lunchbox treat, post-workout dessert, or party sweet. They're also delicious crumbled over vanilla ice cream, yogurt, smoothie bowls, or blended into milkshakes.
Recipe Variations
Mix in chopped peanuts, crushed pretzels, toffee bits, shredded coconut, white chocolate chips, or colourful sprinkles. Drizzle the finished bites with melted dark chocolate or roll them in cocoa powder for an elegant finish.
