Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour (90 grams)
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt (3 grams)
Wet Ingredients
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter (68 grams)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, room temperature (57 grams, ½ stick)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar (50 grams)
- ¼ cup dark brown sugar (53 grams)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (4 grams)
- 1½ tablespoons milk (21 grams)
Add-ins
- ½ cup peanut butter baking chips (85 grams)
Instructions
- Heat the Flour: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the all-purpose flour on high for 30 seconds. Stir and continue heating at 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F to ensure it is safe to consume raw.
- Add Cinnamon: Mix the ground cinnamon into the warm flour thoroughly, then set the mixture aside to cool completely before using.
- Cream Peanut Butter and Butter: In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to cream together the creamy peanut butter and room temperature unsalted butter until smooth and well combined, about 2 minutes.
- Add Sugars: Incorporate the granulated sugar and dark brown sugar into the peanut butter and butter mixture. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Mix in Flavorings: Add the kosher salt, pure vanilla extract, and milk to the bowl. Mix everything together until fully integrated and smooth.
- Combine with Flour Mixture: Gradually add the cooled flour and cinnamon mixture into the wet ingredients. Mix gently just until the flour is fully incorporated, being careful not to overmix.
- Add Peanut Butter Chips: Fold in the peanut butter baking chips using a spatula or wooden spoon. Stir just until the chips are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Optional – Shape Dough: For an easy on-the-go snack, roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Otherwise, the dough can be enjoyed immediately with a spoon or stored for later.
Notes
- Heating the flour to 160°F is essential to eliminate any harmful bacteria since this dough is not baked.
- You can substitute regular milk with any plant-based milk if preferred.
- Store leftover dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Use natural or crunchy peanut butter for added texture variation if desired.
- The optional rolling step makes it convenient for portion control and snacking.
