Monster Cookie Dough Directions
Beat together the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Heat-treat the flour. To do this important step, place 1 cup of flour in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for two minutes.
Stir the flour and check the temperature using a kitchen or meat thermometer. You want the temp of the flour to be at least 175 degrees F. Continue to microwave until the flour reaches that temperature.
Heat-treated flour gets a bit chunky, so use a spoon to break it up. Pour all the flour into a strainer and sift it into a new bowl. Use a spoon to help push it through. Any hard pieces that look like rice left in the strainer you can throw in the garbage.
Add the vanilla, flour, oats, salt, and milk to the mixture and beat just until mixed.
Beat in the chocolate chips, candy coated chocolate, mini cookies, and sprinkles until combined.
Serve in cute cups with tiny spoons!
Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
