Sometimes this momma needs something sweet!
Have you ever had one of those days where nothing goes your way?
When my day isn’t going as planned, sometimes just sitting back and enjoying something sweet can be just enough to help me get in a better mood for the rest of the day {hence why I came up with Edible Cookie Dough for One and Edible Sugar Cookie Dough recipes}.
One day I was super tired after not getting much sleep the night before. Both of my kids woke up several times in the night, which means I didn’t get much sleep either. I decided to try and take a nap during my son’s naptime. Unfortunately, he decided to boycott his nap {which is happening a lot lately}.
Isn’t it funny how adults crave naps but children loathe them?
Instead of napping (to my dismay and my son’s delight) we made some Edible Peanut Butter Cookie Dough. This is a fun activity you can do with your kids while sharing a sweet treat together.
My son said “I wuv cookie dough!”
I have to agree with him. The cookie dough was so good I had to stop myself from eating it just so I could take some pictures! I was still bummed neither of us got a nap that day but at least we got to do something fun and sweet together!
By the way, if you’re looking for a mixer, this is the mixer I use & it’s awesome! It’s affordable and it stirs the thick cookie dough like a boss!
Quick disclaimer: This recipe calls for flour and some experts warn against eating raw flour. Researchers say microwaving the raw flour for one minute and 15 seconds stirring at 15 second intervals may kill the harmful bacteria. Eat at your own risk.

- 1 TBSP softened butter
- 3 TBSP peanut butter
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 TBSP milk
- 1/8 tsp vanilla
- 1/3 cup flour
- 1 pinch salt
- Using a stand mixer, combine softened butter, peanut butter and brown sugar on low for just under a minute until well blended.
- Gently stir in milk, vanilla, flour and salt with a spoon.
- Then combine the mixture with a mixer on low until incorporated.
- If you like cookie dough with a more creamy, less crunchy texture, use the mixer for a longer amount of time until desired texture is achieved.

Hi! Can this recipe be easily turned into a big one? as in I try it in this size and then multiply the ingredients and have one large batch to share? ( I mean who would want to share, but I have to)
Sure I don’t see why not! Just double the ingredients and let me know how it goes!
THIS IS SOOOOOOOO GOOD. I added Chocolate chips too, it was even better. My mom was like, ok I’m going to a movie no baking no hot stuff bye! Sooooooo… this technically isn’t baking riiiiiiiiiight?!?!?!
So glad you liked it! True – it’s technically not baking in the sense that the oven wasn’t used 😉
This is so good. I split the recipe into 2 servings but I also cut back on the brown sugar and then added 1/2 a TBSP of nutella to half of the recipe which was heaven.
So happy to hear you liked it Courtney! Adding nutella sounds really good–I might have to try that sometime! Thanks so much for letting me know you enjoyed the recipe. Knowing readers are enjoying my recipes really makes my day!
Pure perfection. I love this recipe, it was so good and just the right amount.
Yay I’m so happy to hear this was just right for you Jessica! Thanks so much for taking the time to let me know!
Oh my gosh! This looks so delicious. I can’t wait to try it. Would be good with ice cream too!
Ice cream is the perfect addition to this! I’m going to have to try it sometime!

Now I’m thinking of making a batch…thanks for the inspiration Alexis!
YUM! This looks and sounds delicious. I’m a sucker for any sort of cookie dough so I am definitely going to try this out.
