Edible Monster Cookie Dough

Jump to Recipe

This edible monster cookie dough is packed with rolled oats, peanut butter, chocolate chips and m&m’s! It’s perfect to roll and cover in chocolate, to use as a dip for apples, pretzels or graham crackers or to just eat with a spoon.

Quick Tips

• Use creamy peanut butter for this recipe (I recommend Jif brand). Using a natural peanut butter will work as well, but the final texture will vary from what you see in the photos below
• Use rolled oats for a thicker texture. Quick oats can also be used in a 1:1 substitution (it will just make the final texture slightly less dense)
• Use this edible cookie dough as a dip for pretzels, fruit or crackers! You can also roll the dough into 1-2 inch balls and coat them in chocolate to make truffles, or of course, just eat it with a spoon
• Use mini m&m’s and mini chocolate chips if desired, especially if you plan on rolling them into balls and covering them with chocolate

Equipment

Not a lot is needed to make this delicious edible monster cookie dough. Using a stand or hand mixer is recommended to mix the ingredients thoroughly.

• Hand or stand mixer
• Mixing bowl
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Silicone spatula
• Kitchen scale (optional)

Ingredient Notes

• Creamy peanut butter: Jif brand is recommended. Natural creamy peanut butters will work as well, but final texture of the cookie dough will vary
• Unsalted butter: salted butter is OK too, just decrease added salt by ⅛ of a teaspoon
• Light brown sugar: dark brown sugar can be substituted
• Vanilla extract
• Salt
• Milk: any kind of milk is OK (I use 2%)
• Rolled oats: also known as old fashioned oats. Quick oats can be substituted, but will lead to a less dense texture
• Chocolate chips: semi-sweet chocolate chips recommended, but any type of chocolate is OK. Also try using mini chocolate chips if desired
• M&M’s: milk chocolate m&m’s are recommended, but any flavor is OK

How to make Edible Monster Cookie Dough

This monster cookie dough can be mixed together in 10 minutes or less! Follow the steps below to make it.

Use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a hand mixer to cream the butter, peanut butter and brown sugar on high for 1-2 minutes. Scrape down the bowl once complete.

Add in the vanilla extract, milk and salt. Mix until combined.

Next, add the rolled oats and mix until well-combined. Scrape down the bowl once complete.

Lastly, add the chocolate chips and m&m’s fold them into the dough using the mixer or a silicone spatula. This cookie dough needs to be stored in the fridge, but I recommend eating it at room temperature. Just remove it from the fridge an hour before you’d like to eat it.
