How to Make Edible Peanut Butter Cookie Monster Cookie Dough

1. Using a hand mixer, cream the softened Butter with the Peanut Butter, Granulated Sugar, and Brown Sugar in a large bowl until combined.
2. Add the Vanilla Extract and stir to combine it with the creamy peanut butter mixture.

3. Gradually incorporate the heat-treated All-Purpose Flour, Salt, and Old Fashioned Oats into the peanut butter mixture. Expect the mixture to be a bit dry and crumbly at this stage. Mix in 1 tablespoon of Milk at a time to the crumbly mixture until it forms a cookie dough texture and consistency. An additional tablespoon of Milk can be added to make the cookie dough more moist - you can adjust the amount of milk as you need to.
4. Hand-stir the mini chocolate chips and mini M&M chocolate candies into the cookie dough, reserving a few to press on top of the cookie scoops for presentation.

FAQs

Storage & Freezing

Storage:Store any leftover cookie dough in an airtight container for up to 7 days.

Freezing:Edible Monster Cookie Dough can be stored in a freezer-safe container or ziplock bag and frozen for up to 3 months. Best if scooped into bite size servings and freeze individually before adding to a ZipLoc bag.

Substitutions & Variations

• Salted butter can be used instead of unsalted butter, although you may need to adjust the amount of added salt in the recipe. For a dairy-free version, use a plant-based butter substitute.
• Almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter can be used instead of peanut butter for different flavors or to accommodate nut allergies.
• Almond extract can be used instead of vanilla extract for a different flavor profile, but use less as it's stronger than vanilla. Natural vanilla extract offers the best flavor.
• Try using white chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, mint chips, or butterscotch chips. Try using different kinds of M&Ms too, like peanut, peanut butter, crispy, and salted caramel!
• Feel free to get creative and add other mix-ins besides mini chocolate chips and M&Ms, such as chopped nuts, other candy pieces like mini or chopped peanut butter cups, or even dried fruit like raisins.
• Any plant-based milk (almond, soy, oat) works well as a dairy-free substitute for dairy milk.

Pro Tips

Whether you're making Monster Cookie Dough for a special occasion or a cozy night in, these insights will help you create a memorable treat that's sure to be a hit. These pro tips will help elevate your Monster Cookie Dough from good to great, ensuring every batch is delicious, visually appealing, and satisfying.

Weighing Ingredients.

Baking is a science; adding too much or too little of any ingredients will alter the recipe. Weighing and measuring dry ingredients properly makes a world of difference. Investing in a kitchen scale is ideal. When a kitchen scale is unavailable, stir and lift ingredients before scooping them into a measuring cup.

Cookie Scoop

Using a cookie scoop keeps each ball of cookie dough the same size, which is not essential as you're not baking them, but it helps the presentation look extra special when serving!

Heat-Treated Flour

Edible Cookie dough should be made with heat-treated flour to kill any bacteria. Raw flour can be heat-treated in the microwave or oven - see my easy guide onHow to Heat-Treat Flourfor full details!

Achieving the Right Texture

The texture of your Monster Cookie Dough is paramount. To ensure it's perfectly pliable and not too dry or too sticky, pay attention to the consistency after adding the milk.

Start with the initial amount recommended in the recipe, then add more in small increments if needed. The dough should come together without feeling wet. If it becomes too sticky, a little more heat-treated flour can help balance it out.

Flavor Enhancements

Consider toasting the oats slightly before adding them to the mix for an even more flavorful dough. This step can enhance the nutty, comforting taste of the oats, adding depth to the overall flavor profile. Additionally, using high-quality vanilla extract and natural peanut butter can make a significant difference in the end product, offering a more pronounced and pure flavor.

Mix-Ins and Toppings

While mini chocolate chips and M&M candies are classic stir-ins, don't be afraid to get creative. Chopped nuts, dried fruit, or even a swirl of caramel or chocolate sauce can add interesting textures and flavors. When adding these mix-ins, fold them gently into the dough to avoid crushing them, which ensures every bite is packed with flavor.

Presentation and Serving

When serving Monster Cookie Dough, consider the presentation. Use a cookie scoop for uniform portions, and press a few extra chocolate chips or M&M candies on top for an appealing look. Serving the dough with a variety of dippers, such as pretzel sticks, graham crackers, or even fresh fruit slices, can turn it into a fun and interactive dessert.

You can make cookie dough bites by using a small size #100 (2 teaspoon) cookie scoop and add it to milkshakes, homemade ice cream, or on top of desserts!

• Kitchen Scale. I use this for accuracy in measuring, and it's a lifesaver when it comes to consistent baking.
• Wire Rack for cooling cookies. I like to have at least two cooling racks.
• Mixing Bowls. A Large Mixing Bowl for mixing ingredients and small and medium mixing bowls for other ingredients.
• Cookie Sheet. Most recipes will take two batches to bake. It's great to have multiple baking sheets available.
• Parchment Paperor Silicone Baking Mat. Line the Cookie Sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
• Cookie Scoop. A small#60 Cookie Scoopor aMedium Cookie Scoop#50 are great choices for uniform drops of cookie dough.
• Storage Container. An Airtight Container to store cookies or a Ziploc Bag works great too.
• Additional supplies.Measuring CupsandMeasuring Spoonsalong with a silicone spatula, are all helpful.
