Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- ½ cup Butter (Softened)
- ¼ cup Peanut Butter
- 1 cup All Purpose Flour (Heat-Treated, 120g)
- ¼ cup Granulated Sugar (50g)
- ½ cup Brown Sugar (106g)
- ⅔ cup Old Fashioned Oats
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Milk
Mix-Ins
- ½ cup Mini Chocolate Chips
- ½ cup Mini M&M Candy
Instructions
- Cream the Butters and Sugars: Using a hand mixer, cream the softened butter with the peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until fully combined and smooth.
- Add Vanilla Extract: Stir in the vanilla extract thoroughly to infuse the mixture with flavor.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients and Milk: Gradually add the heat-treated all-purpose flour, salt, and old-fashioned oats to the peanut butter mixture. Initially, the mixture will appear dry and crumbly. Add milk one tablespoon at a time, mixing after each addition, until the dough reaches a smooth, cookie dough-like consistency. Adjust the milk quantity as needed to achieve a moist, scoopable texture.
- Fold in Mix-Ins: Hand stir the mini chocolate chips and mini M&M candies into the dough, reserving a few to press on top of the cookie dough scoops for a decorative finish.
Notes
- Heat-treating flour by baking it at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes kills any bacteria, making it safe for raw consumption.
- This dough is best enjoyed refrigerated and can be stored in an airtight container for up to one week.
- Adjust the milk quantity to control the dough’s moisture; add less for thicker dough, more for softer consistency.
- For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter and ensure all other ingredients are nut-free.
