This easy edible cookie dough has been perfected to give you the absolute best version rich, indulgent, and irresistibly smooth and scoopable. It swaps some of the butter for creamy peanut butter so it’s never greasy, uses mini chocolate chips for just-right chocolate in every bite, strikes the ideal balance of sweetness, and delivers the PERFECT (never grainy!) consistency.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour, measured correctly (See Notes)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cubed
  • 2/3 cup light or dark packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons peanut butter (chunky or smooth)
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Treat Flour: Add the flour to a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until it reaches 165°F. Let it cool completely.
  2. Microwave Butter: Place the cubed butter in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds until partially melted.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: Combine butter and sugars in a large mixing bowl or stand mixer. Beat on medium speed until creamed, light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add Ingredients: Add peanut butter, milk, vanilla, and salt, then beat until combined.
  5. Add Flour: Gradually add cooled, cooked flour while mixing on low speed until combined. If dough is too stiff, add milk 1 tbsp at a time.
  6. Add Chocolate Chips: Stir in chocolate chips by hand.
  7. To Enjoy: Enjoy immediately or chill in the fridge for 10 minutes. After prolonged storage, let sit at room temp or microwave individual scoops for ~10 seconds.

Notes

  • Refrigerator: Keep dough in airtight container up to 5 days.
  • Freezer: Portion dough into scoops or logs, freeze up to 3 months. Thaw before enjoying.
  • Weigh flour if possible for perfect texture.
  • If no scale: Fluff flour, spoon, level with knife.
  • Cream butter and sugars for 2 full minutes to keep dough smooth.
  • Make it your own: Add sprinkles, white chocolate, M&Ms, or crushed Oreos.
