Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Heat-treat the all-purpose flour by spreading it on a microwave-safe plate and microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval. Use a food thermometer to ensure the flour reaches 165°F (74°C) to eliminate any potential bacteria. Let the flour cool completely.
- In a medium mixing bowl, cream together the creamy peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and well combined. Use an electric mixer or mix vigorously by hand until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
- Add the vanilla extract and milk to the peanut butter mixture. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the texture is creamy.
- Gradually fold in the heat-treated, cooled flour. Mix until the flour is completely integrated and no dry streaks remain.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough. Be careful not to overmix.
- For best texture and flavor, cover the bowl and refrigerate the cookie dough for 30 minutes before serving. This will help the flavors meld and provide a firmer consistency.
- Serve chilled in small portions. Store any leftover cookie dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Always heat-treat your flour to eliminate any potential bacteria. Use a food thermometer to ensure it reaches 165°F (74°C) for food safety.
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing and better texture. This helps create a creamy, uniform cookie dough.
- Don't skip the chilling step! Refrigerating the dough for 30 minutes helps intensify flavors and provides a firmer, more authentic cookie dough consistency.
- Choose a high-quality, creamy peanut butter for the best flavor and texture. Avoid natural peanut butters that separate easily.
- For a gluten-free version, use heat-treated gluten-free flour as a substitute.
- Get creative with mix-ins! While chocolate chips are classic, you can experiment with different add-ins like crushed pretzels, chopped nuts, or extra chocolate varieties.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 5 days for the best taste and texture.
