🍲 Ingredients
Peanut Butter: My recommendation for the best edible cookie dough recipes is to find a peanut butter that only uses one ingredient – peanuts. Natural peanut butter is way healthier, as much peanut butter is full of oils, sugar, sodium, etc. If you don’t have peanut butter or have a nut allergy, you can swap peanut butter for any other nut or seed butter you have. Almond Flour: Another healthier alternative in this edible cookie dough is almond flour. You can swap the all-purpose flour for almond flour if you wish. You can substitute these as a 1:1 ratio. This flour is loaded with nutrients, and vitamins like vitamin E, magnesium, and fiber. Almond flour also makes this recipe gluten-free and is high in healthy fats.

- In a medium-sized bowl, combine peanut butter, butter, maple syrup, and vanilla, with a hand mixer on medium/high speed until light and fluffy.
