Who makes peanut butter cookie dough?

Pillsbury makes a peanut butter cookie dough that is also safe to eat raw (if marked as such on the package). However, there are many people that aren't in love with the flavor of this particular brand of peanut butter cookie dough. It may be safer to make a batch of your own at home, especially if you don't like the flavor of store bought edible cookie dough.

Can I add peanut butter to store bought cookie dough?

You may be able to add a little bit of peanut butter to store bought cookie dough, but know that doing so may alter the texture more than you'd like. Instead, I recommend you simply take to making your own peanut butter cookie dough as the peanut butter flavor is likely to be stronger and you won't have to compromise the overall texture of the dough and/or cookie in the process.

How do you make peanut butter cookies?

Did you know that combining peanut butter with sugar and an egg can actually yield delicious cookies? It's true! The best part is that there are no fancy ingredients needed. Just be sure that you avoid eating this type of cookie dough. Though it doesn't contain raw flour, it does contain raw egg, which can be dangerous to your health.

Can Eating Raw Cookie Dough Make You Sick?

Yes! In case you aren't aware, raw peanut butter cookie dough contains harmful raw ingredient components, including raw flour and raw eggs. Both of these pose a risk to your health as they mainly contain bacteria like Salmonella or E.coli that have been shown to cause a wide variety of issues for those coming in contact with them. So, how is edible peanut butter cookie dough safe? Because raw flour and egg are the main reasons it isn't safe to eat regular cookie dough, we'll need to nix the two ingredients in order to give peanut butter cookie dough the green light. To do this, simply omit the egg and heat treat the flour to make it edible.

Instructions

Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Spread your all-purpose flour in an even layer on a lined baking sheet.
Place your flour in the preheated oven and bake for about 7-10 minutes, taking care not to burn.
Once cooked, allow the flour to cool.
Set aside.
In a separate bowl, cream together your granulated and white sugar along with the butter and peanut butter. Use a hand mixer to mix until it is nice and smooth.
To this, sift in your heat treated flour, along with your salt and vanilla extract.
Stir.
Add in your 2 tablespoons of heavy cream or milk, adjusting as needed depending on the consistency of the cookie dough.
Once combined, gently fold in your peanut butter chips or chocolate chips (if using).
Use a cookie scoop or tablespoons to portion balls of cookie dough that are about 1 1/2 tablespoons each. Roll each ball between your two hands before placing on a lined baking sheet.
Refrigerate the cookie dough balls until firm.
Eat the cookie dough balls chilled or place them in an airtight container of freezer bags to be placed in the freezer.
Enjoy!

Notes

If your edible cookie dough takes on a crumbly appearance, this often is easily remedied by an additional splash of milk or heavy cream. You can even add water if you’re in a pinch. Just be careful not to add too much liquid,
