Need I say more? Does this really require explanation? I think not.

How To Make Edible Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Without Brown Sugar

1. Heat The Flour In The Microwave- I did 30-second increments until it achieved 165 degrees Fahrenheit. According to the FDA in this article, this doesn't make it safe. This is your call on your comfort level. As someone who sometimes lives on the edge, I feel okay taking the plunge if I’ve ensured my flour is heated to 165 degrees. Again though, move forward at your own risk!
2. While Flour Is Cooling, Cream Butter And Sugar- yes the butter is melted, but whisking well improves the texture of this dish!
3. Add Remaining Ingredients and Stir Just Until Combined- I wait till the very end to add the chocolate chips.
4. Enjoy! With Or Without A Friend - Yes, I know it's single-serve and a recipe for one. But theoretically you could split it with a friend or partner. That being said, I would totally understand if you eat it in your pajamas by yourself. Again, your call entirely.

Ingredients In Edible Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Without Brown Sugar

Butter- I used salted. Adds creamy texture and true cookie dough flavor to this dish. Let's face it...most cookie doughs contain brown sugar.

Granulated Sugar- as you can tell I'm quite excited this cookie dough contains no brown sugar. Such a win! As such, it gets its sweetness from granulated sugar.

Peanut Butter- because what would single serve, edible peanut butter cookie dough be without...the peanut butter? So creamy, and it pairs perfectly with the chocolate chips. Like edible Reeses in cookie dough form. Just perfect.

Vanilla (optional)- adds flavor and complexity to this already fabulous dish.

Flour- Make sure to heat it as described in the recipe and to read the FDA link and make your own decision. I feel comfortable with this but everyone is different!

Salt- you don't notice it unless it's gone! The salt basically helps all the flavors shine in this recipe. Don't skip it.

Milk- Because of the peanut butter, this dish can be a bit sticky. That's where the milk comes in! It helps make this edible cookie dough delicious and so perfect! You could also use almond milk if you're wanting to minimize dairy.

Chocolate Chips- Oh so yummy. Not going to lie, I snitched some prior to making this dish. I like Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips for people avoiding dairy. If you have more questions about dairy allergies, check out the FDA's article on dairy. I personally used Aldi chocolate chips and was very happy with the end product.
