I’m not going to lie. Eleven days into this New Year thing and I’m struggling. I know I made some resolutions and they may or not have been about getting more healthy. But really, I’m hungry. And not for salad. Adulting makes me want to eat, and I feel like I’ve done my share of adulting lately. I may have solved my hunger problem with this Edible Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. Well, one problem’s been solved anyway!
Let’s get a few things out of the way.
First isn’t all cookie dough edible? Yes. And I assure you I’ve eaten tons of it in my time. But…cookie dough meant to make cookies, contains raw eggs and they can contain Salmonella, so probably best to stay away. But does that mean that you can’t eat cookie dough? Absolutely not. You just need to make eggless cookie dough. Problem solved.
Can I make cookies with this? Maybe? Probably if you add eggs? Who knows? I don’t plan on finding on out. This Edible Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough won’t last that long. If you really, really want to make cookies, try this recipe for Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies instead.
Isn’t your resolution to be more healthy? I think so. And it still is. But a girl needs a treat. And I am that girl. And this is that treat. If you want healthy, try these Healthy Cookie Dough Balls instead.
Isn’t this dough too grainy, too buttery, too thick, too thin, too fill-in-the-blank? Why yes. Yes it is. It is the same consistency as cookie dough, not meant to be a smooth dip. It stores well in the refrigerator and should be eaten with a spoon. Frequently.
Can I leave out the peanut butter? Probably not. At least not with this recipe. I think that would dramatically alter the texture and then the recipe would need to be reworked. Could it be done? Sure. Am I going to do it? Not this time around. I like peanut butter. Another note, I used natural peanut butter that has very little salt and no added sugar. I would recommend using the same. After all, why would you even buy a peanut butter that had added sugar anyway?
One last thing. What else can I do with this recipe? Well, I’m so glad you asked! I promise you’re going to love the answer! Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream. Although I haven’t had a chance to develop this perfect recipe yet, I promise I will just as soon as it warms up. Maybe sooner! In the meantime, you can form this edible cookie dough into a log, wrap it in waxed paper, freeze it, slice it and put it into any ice cream you make.
For sure you’ll want to pin this one. And then follow the rest of our Pinterest boards. You’ll be glad you did.

This is perfect. Peanut butter and chocolate chips – you can never go wrong.
True, peanut butter and chocolate is never wrong!
YES! I have all of these things on hand – sounds like my afternoon snack today though I could eat it all in one sitting!
I managed to split it into 2, but it did take a lot of will power!
Oh man, this looks so good. What a decadent, easy to make treat. I will have to keep this in mind 🙂
Super easy, feels super decadent, simple ingredients! Hope you enjoy!
Oh I’m definitely trying this! I love cookie dough!
You won’t be sorry!
Yes! Yes ! Yes! i make edible CC cookie dough all of the time, but adding PB is BRILLIANT. PINNING and will be making soon. Thank you for the inspiration!
Maybe adding PB makes it a little healthier…you know protein and all that!?!?
Mmmm, chocolate and pb are my fav! Have you heard about the recall on flour from General Mills? It makes scared to eat anything that isn’t cooked 🙁
I usually use flour from King Arthur Flour so I haven’t been too closely following the General Mills recall, but it something to consider. I don’t think it’s going to stop me though! XOXO.
Yum yum yum! I LOVE eating cookie dough, but always have that little voice in the back of my head saying “but you are eating raw eggs…), so I’m happy to have a recipe that I can make without any guilt. 😀
Let’s make 2017 the year of “no guilt”! Enjoy!
I am with you–who cares about the cookies if you can have the dough!
