You made me do it.
Yes, you.
You’re like the naughty child in the back of the classroom; the one who always eggs the other children on… and then watches, laughing, as they get in trouble.
Do it, Katie.
Make a chocolate version of your Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Cookies.
You know you want to.
My Other Recipes:
Yes, yes I wanted to.
And now that I made them and discovered how good they are? Oh boy, am I ever in trouble.
(Are you laughing yet?)
No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies
- 1/4 cup peanut butter, or nut butter of choice
- 1/4 cup + 3 tablespoons raisins
- salt to taste (I used a little over 1/4 tsp, but I like salty pb cookies!)
- 2 tablespoons roasted, unsalted peanuts (Walnuts or cashews can be subbed. Also, if you can only find salted peanuts, reduce or omit added salt)
- 1/8 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1-2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- optional: chocolate chips, either before or after blending (or both!)
Throw everything into a small food processor (double the recipe for a larger food processor) and combine until very smooth. Roll into balls, cookies, bars, or simply eat shovel the dough into your mouth, straight from the machine. (I’m not the only one who does this, right? Right?) The dough can be stored on the counter, in the fridge, or in the freezer. Or in your belly. Or in my belly. On second thought, the dough can only be stored in my belly. So hand it over.
These are 100% flourless, just like my Flourless Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Also, I wanted to update you on the moat I mentioned in an earlier post that I was making to protect my cookies.
Meet Earl:
If anyone tries to steal my cookies, he’s got me covered. I initially had my heart set on a dragon… but all the good dragons were taken.
Growing up, did you ever want an exotic pet?
At one point in my life, I thought it’d be the coolest thing to have a monkey. And then I went through a “Mom, I need a panda bear” stage. Through the years, I also wanted a frog, a mouse, and a horse. Apparently my childhood pets (which included rabbits, hermit crabs, hamsters, and a parrot) just weren’t exotic enough.
Also: If you haven’t tried the original version of these cookies, I highly recommend checking that post out. It’s one of my favorite recipes on the blog!
I would just like to tell you again that you’re an absolute lifesaving genius. These bars are AMAZING and I eat them at least 2-3x a week now. I even got my mom hooked on them! I like to use 1 T shredded almonds and 1-2 T coconut with these instead of the peanuts (because we never have them in our house). So unbelievably good. I’m actually eating one right now. Though I usually just use my short cup and eat it straight out of there (no time for bar making! there is deliciousness afoot!) I love that they’re so portable and quick to make; perfect when I have to run out the door for class. You’re amazing, Katie. Just thought I’d let you know that, again. =)
Aww Sue, you are too sweet! 🙂
Just made these literally minutes ago, and i have to say, i am not vegan, not even close, but these cookies are AWESOME! I don’t miss the flour or anything else regular cookies would have. Even my 3 year old, super picky son is gobbling them up! YUMM!
Do you think you could use sunmaid pitted dates in place of raisins?? That’s all I have and I really hate raisins although I’m sure you don’t taste them anyways in this recipe..haha
Yes! I am sure you can 🙂
I’ve been pinning your yummy looking recipes on pinterest for awhile, and today I finally took the plunge and made these cookies. They were so good! I loved that there were no dangerous to eat raw ingredients, so I could let my kids help, and didn’t have to get worry when they wanted to eat cookie dough raw! My skeptical husband thought they were great, too! I will definitely be trying more recipes soon. 🙂
These are soooooo yummy! I only have almond butter so I used that, raisins, cocoa, and whole almonds. I sprinkled some mini semi-sweet chips in at the end, too. I didn’t put any salt because I’m very sensitive to salty things. I used unsalted almond butter and plain almonds. These are so incredible. I can’t believe there’s no sugar, oil, milk, or flour! They taste so rich!
Yay! I just made this recipe, but with prunes (hope nobody gets grossed out), and they were great! My 9 year old daughter gave her stamp of approval as well. Thanks for all your recipe tinkering Katie – Yum!
Hi Katie,
How many carbs per serving? Thanks! 🙂
I love to use chopped dates in this recipe!
Hey Katie, I’m not a big fan of rasisins so I was wondering what else, and how much, I might use to sweeten these. By the way, I love everything I have tried from your site so far. I am so excited that I was told about it. 🙂
Maybe try one of my other fudge baby variations? Like the pb babies, which are sweetened with dates instead of raisins. https://lett-trim.today/chocolate-covered-recipes/fudge-baby-mania/%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E
Is there any reason dates won’t work as well as raisins?
Nope. No reason at all 😉
