Ingredients:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (or any nut butter of your choice)
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup chocolate chips (dairy or vegan)
- Optional: Pinch of salt
Instructions:
Step 1: Combine the wet ingredients. In a medium bowl, thoroughly combine the peanut butter, brown sugar, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Make sure there are no lumps of sugar remaining. This is crucial for a smooth and delicious edible cookie dough.
Step 2: Mix in the chocolate chips. Gently fold in the chocolate chips. Avoid overmixing to prevent the chocolate from melting.
Step 3: Chill and serve. For best results, cover the bowl and chill the cookie dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the dough to firm up slightly, making it easier to scoop and enjoy.
Step 4: Enjoy your delicious and safe cookie dough! Serve chilled with a spoon or use it as a filling for other desserts.
Tips for the Best Edible Cookie Dough:
