Ingredients for Peanut Butter Edible Cookie Dough
The ingredients for this edible peanut butter cookie dough are so simple that I bet you already have everything you need on hand! If peanut butter chip isn’t your vibe, you could totally sub in another nut butter. If you have a nut allergy, try using sunflower seed butter and let me know how it goes!
- Non-dairy butter. It must be a vegan butter, oil won’t work for this.
- Sugar. Plain granulated sugar is perfect.
- Smooth natural peanut butter. The consistency of natural peanut butter works best in this edible cookie dough.
- Salt. Always add a pinch of salt to your sweet treats to help balance out the flavor.
- Non-dairy milk. Any variety works, just go for untreated.
- Vanilla extract. A touch will do wonders to elevate the flavor.
- Heat-treated all-purpose flour. Raw flour can be tainted with bacteria, so it is very important to heat treat the flour. I’ll walk you through how to do it below!
- Mini chocolate chips. The best part!
How to Make Vegan Edible Cookie Dough
The first and most important step is heat treating your flour. All-purpose flour right out of the bag is technically a raw food, which means it can be tainted with bacteria like E. coli. Since we’re not baking this cookie dough into cookies, heat treating the flour makes this edible cookie dough safe to eat.
To heat treat your flour, simply spread it out onto a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. You can make big batches of heat treated flour and store it in an airtight container.
Once your flour is heat-treated, here’s how to make your vegan edible cookie dough:
- Beat your cookie dough. Add the non-dairy butter, sugar, peanut butter, and salt to a bowl and beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Mix in your non-dairy milk and vanilla until well-incorporated.
- Fold in the flour. Stop to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Try not to over-mix as this will lead to a dense cookie dough
- Add chocolate chips and use a rubber spatula to mix into the dough.
- Freeze the dough for 10 minutes to allow it to firm up into a scoop-able texture.
- Roll into small cookie dough balls or use an ice cream scoop to form balls of dough.
How to Store Edible Cookie Dough
I know you’re gonna want to eat all of this peanut butter cookie dough in one sitting, but in the case that it lasts longer than a day, you’ve got two options: store in the fridge or freezer.
I like to store these in the fridge because they stay a little softer and are the perfect texture to sink your teeth into. But if you want them to last longer, stick them in the freezer. You’ll need to let them sit out for a few minutes before eating.

Notes
*It is very important to use peanut butter that has no added oil or sugar.
**Raw flour can be tainted with bacteria, so it is very important to heat treat the flour: preheat oven to 350ºF. Spread all-purpose flour onto a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Cool before storing in an airtight container. (thanks Cooking Classy for this tip!)
