Why does cookie dough always refer to chocolate chip cookie dough? For that matter, why does 90% of cookie dough ice cream use a vanilla ice cream base? In the name of variety and a flavor combination that’s hard to go wrong with, I present a recipe for peanut butter cookie dough that’s safe to eat raw (no eggs!). You can eat peanut butter cookie dough just as you would ice cream – with sprinkles and topping galore.
Or, you can serve peanut butter cookie dough with ice cream (I suggest chocolate ice cream!).
When making peanut butter cookie dough, you needn’t worry about ingredient order, mixing speeds, temperature, or times. You aren’t going to bake the cookie dough, so you can say, “Nanny nanny poo poo,” to the laws of baking chemistry – just mix and eat!
