How to Make
Full steps on how to make are featured in the printable recipe card. This is a quick walk-through of how it is made.
- Preheat the oven. Then you will spread the flour on a baking sheet into a thin layer. Then bake the flour as directed.
- Once the flour has been heat treated you will remove it from the oven and allow it to fully cool.
- In a mixing bowl add peanut butter, and sugars, and mix until light and fluffy with a hand mixer. This takes 2-3 minutes.
- Next add the flour, milk, and vanilla. Mix to combine.
- Once there are no streaks, fold in the peanut butter candies, and then eat or refrigerate until it is ready to serve.
Top Tips For Success
- The flour needs to reach an internal temperature of 160°F to kill off any harmful bacteria. That is what you will spread it out on a baking dish and bake it.
- Make sure to allow the flour to cool before mixing in the batter.
- Use a hand mixer or stand mixer for creaming the butter and sugars.
- I do recommend a creamy peanut butter but you can use a crunchy peanut butter.
Variations to Recipe
- Leave out Reese’s Pieces candies.
- Add in some mini peanut butter chocolate chips.
- Use a gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free flour cookie dough.
- Mix in some mini chocolate chips or other candies.
