Ingredients:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup oat flour (or finely ground oats)
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
For dipping (optional):
- 1 cup chocolate chips, melted (for dipping the balls)
Instructions:
- Mix the ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, beat together the peanut butter, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Add the oat flour:
- Gradually mix in the oat flour until the mixture forms a dough. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a bit more oat flour. If using, fold in the mini chocolate chips.
- Shape into balls:
- Roll the dough into small bite-sized balls (about 1 tablespoon each) and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Chill:
- Place the cookie dough balls in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up.
- Optional: Dip in chocolate:
- If you want to dip the balls in chocolate, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Dip each chilled peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Place the dipped balls back onto the parchment paper and chill until the chocolate is set.
- Serve:
- Once chilled and firm, your Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Balls are ready to enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
