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!
Hi Katie!
I’m sorry if I missed this but do you have the nutritional info? Love your blog, on it all the time!!
You Rock Girl!! 🙂
Sorry, not for this one. However if you look on my “Fudge Baby Mania” page the nutritional info is listed for some of the other flavors, so I think they should all be pretty similar since they have similar ingredients. Hope that’s somewhat helpful!
I shared the yummy No-Bake Chocolate PB Cookies!
Just made them & they are amazing! My husband rarely eats sweets and my 3 year old & I are chocoholics so your portions are always just enough for the 2 of us! Thank you for another perfect recipe!!!
How many calories are in these. I like to know that before I make them. They sound wonderful.
These look absolutely delicious! However, is it possible to leave out the rasins or substitute them with something else?
yummy! these are the first thing from your website i’ve tried. i used my crappy mini food processor so not everything got chopped up, but i kinda like it all chunky 🙂 casey, i think you could probably easily use dried cherries or currants in place of raisins?
If it’s just the flavor of raisins you’re not a huge fan of, I’d suggest trying them anyway – and use 2 full tablespoons of cocoa – you won’t notice the taste of the raisin. I actually have some dried cherries on hand – when I make my next batch, I may leave the dried cherries whole but work them into the dough before I form balls – chocolate covered cherry cookies sounds good to me! Oh – sorry, I digressed – I was going to say, I bet you could use dried cherries as the sweetner/binder instead of raisins.
Yum…I just make a combo of this and your Oatmeal raisin larabars, and it’s fantastic. Crunchy pb makes a great substitute for peanut butter and peanuts!
just checking out your page for the first time and made your chocolate pb no bakes. I have a well stocked vegan kitchen so I had everything on hand. OMG! Just delicious! Has to be one of the best cookie receipes I have ever made…and so easy! Will make again and again! Thanks!
I just finished making these and they are awesome but mine came out super sticky I could hardly roll them; any suggustions? I omitted the raisen since they aren’t my favorite.
OMG – my head just blew up! I threw these together – it only took about 5 minutes. Of course I HAD to taste test. WOW! Intense flavor, amazing taste! And so, so easy. This is rich enough to satisfy a very strong sweet tooth! I rolled my dough into little balls and added to choc chips each, like eyes!!!!
Thanks for another amazing recipe, CCK!
THESE ARE THE BOMB!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM!!!
RE: Crumbly Cookies – I couldn’t get my dough to come together either – THE FIRST TIME I MADE THEM – the second try (on the next night, which happens to be tonite) I did two things, I added a teaspoon of ice water while the processor was spinning and I let it spin a lot longer on a higher spin level. Was able to form nice, round cohesive cookies easily. Wanted to see how they taste chilled, but well…. between my 16yo daughter and myself, there aren’t any to chill!
