Here is what you will need to make this edible peanut butter chocolate chip cookie dough:

• Natural peanut butter: Must be natural to achieve the correct texture. This means the only ingredient should be peanuts and maybe salt.
• Maple syrup
• Vanilla extract
• Almond flour: It is best to use a very fine almond flour such as Bob’s Red Mill or Kirkland from Costco.
• Vegan mini chocolate chips: Using small chocolate chips is best because your cookie dough will be easier to eat and you’ll have more chocolate chips spread throughout the cookie dough.
• Salt: You can omit the salt if desired. You may want to do this if the peanut butter you use already has salt added to it.

How to make edible peanut butter chocolate chip cookie dough

Making this cookie dough is as easy as mixing all of the ingredients together.

Start by mixing the natural peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a bowl.

Next, add in the almond flour and salt. Mix until fully combined.

Finally, mix in your mini chocolate chips!

Tips for making peanut butter chocolate chip cookie dough

• Use natural peanut butter. This means that it has no added sugar or oil. The natural oil from the peanuts will separate and settle on top, so mix your jar of peanut butter before using it for this recipe. Your peanut butter should be wet and smooth, but make sure it’s not too oily.
• Adjust the amount of almond flour to get the consistency you like. If you like your cookie dough to be less firm, start with less almond flour and add more to thicken as desired. Keep in mind that it will firm up over time though, especially once you put it in the fridge.
• If the dough seems too wet, put it in the fridge for about 30 minutes to allow it to firm up.
• Using small chocolate chips is best because your cookie dough will be easier to eat and you’ll have more chocolate chips spread throughout the cookie dough.

Adjustments

• Start with less almond flour if you don’t like your cookie dough to be firm. Keep in mind that the dough will firm up quite a bit in the fridge.
• The amount of chocolate chips is up to you. I think 2-3 tablespoons is a good amount for this cookie dough, so I recommend starting with 2 tablespoons and adding more if desired.
• You can also adjust the amount of salt to your preferences.
• I have not tried any other sweetener for this cookie dough, so I suggest sticking with maple syrup.
