How to Make Edible Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Step by Step
Heat-treat the flour: Start by heating up the ¾ cup of all-purpose flour in the microwave in 30-second intervals until it reaches 160°F. This is the part that makes it safe to eat.
You can also bake the flour in the oven. If a microwave isn’t available you can heat-treat by heating the oven to 350°F, then spread the flour evenly onto a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes or until the flour (pushed into a mound in the middle of the pan) reads 160°F on an instant-read meat thermometer. Cook longer if needed.
Mix ingredients to make the cookie dough: After heating the flour, whisk in ¼ teaspoon of ground cinnamon and set aside to cool down.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together ¼ cup unsalted butter and ¼ cup of creamy peanut butter for 2 minutes.
Next, add in ¼ cup granulated sugar and ¼ cup dark brown sugar and continue beating for 3 minutes.
Then add ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract and 1½ tablespoons milk, and continue mixing.
Finally, mix in the cinnamon flour until the flour is incorporated.
Add the peanut butter chips and stir just until incorporated. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls for an easy on-the-go snack. Enjoy!
How to Store
Store edible peanut butter cookie dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. You can freeze cookie dough for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight and serve at room temperature.

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
