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

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

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.
