Edible Peanut Butter Cookie Dough
Description
This edible cookie dough recipe blends softened vegan butter with sugars until smooth, incorporating applesauce and peanut butter for moisture and flavor. A small amount of baking soda dissolved in hot water leavens the dough slightly, while flour creates structure. Vegan chocolate chips add texture and bursts of chocolate.
The dough is shaped into bite-sized balls, dipped in melted dairy-free chocolate, and frozen to firm up, producing a soft yet cohesive bite reminiscent of a peanut butter cup. The texture is creamy and rich from the nut butter and sugars, while the chocolate coating adds a slight snap.
Since this dough is designed for eating raw, it avoids eggs and uses heat-treated ingredients where needed. It's a convenient, edible dessert option that can be served chilled from the freezer as a snack or party treat.
Softened vegan butter is essential for proper mixing, and using a cookie scoop simplifies shaping uniform dough balls. Avoid overmixing after adding flour to maintain tenderness.
Ingredients
- 1 cup vegan butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup applesauce plain
- ¾ cup peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons hot water
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
- Cream together the vegan butter and both sugars until smooth.
- Beat in the applesauce, peanut butter, vanilla, and salt.
- Dissolve the baking soda in hot water and then add it to the batter.
- Stir in the flour.
- Shape cookie dough into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- Then melt the vegan chocolate using a double boiler or microwave. Using two forks, dip each peanut butter ball into the vegan chocolate and spin to coat. Work fast because the dairy-free chocolate hardens.
- Place on a sheet and freeze until ready to serve.
Notes
- Use softened vegan butter at room temperature to ensure smooth mixing and soft texture.
- Utilize a cookie scoop to form evenly sized balls for consistent chocolate coating and freezing.
- Mix dry ingredients with wet just until combined to prevent tough dough.
- Dip quickly in melted vegan chocolate before it hardens, working efficiently to coat each ball.
