Description

These Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Bites are soft, sweet, and packed with the classic chocolate and peanut butter combo. Made with simple ingredients and no baking required, they’re a quick and satisfying snack or dessert you can keep in the fridge or freezer for whenever the craving hits!


Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated – see note)

  • 2-3 tablespoons milk (as needed for consistency)

  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

 

  • Optional: Melted chocolate for dipping or drizzling


Instructions

  • Heat-treat the flour: To make raw flour safe, microwave it in a bowl for 1–2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until it reaches 165°F. Let cool before using.

  • In a mixing bowl, cream together peanut butter, softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.

  • Mix in vanilla and salt. Add the cooled flour and stir until combined.

  • Add milk 1 tablespoon at a time until dough is soft and scoopable.

  • Fold in mini chocolate chips.

  • Scoop dough into small balls (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll between your hands to shape.

  • Optional: Drizzle or dip in melted chocolate, then place on a parchment-lined tray.

  • Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 2 months.


Notes

  • Make it gluten-free by using a GF all-purpose flour blend.

  • You can swap peanut butter for almond or cashew butter if preferred.

  • Add chopped peanuts for a little crunch!

  • Not suitable for baking – these are meant to be enjoyed raw.
