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!
Mmm, these sure look delicious! I’m lucky enough to live about 10 minutes away from a wholesale nut company, so I could make these with any kind of nut if I wanted to! We all know peanut butter is the best, though. 😉 Do you think these would work with golden raisins? I much prefer the taste of those.
I don’t remember wanting any exotic pets, but I did want a kitten for the longest time. Now I’m lucky enough to date someone whose family fosters cats, so I’ve had a lot of chances to play with kittens. I have gotten ringworm though…yuck! At least it’s nothing serious.
I bet they would!!
Uh-oh I should have seen this coming! I know how delicious the original version is, and now a chocolate version? Oh I know what I’m eating today!
Earl doesn’t scare me, I’m coming to sneak a cookie!
Oh no! I need a bigger crocodile!
Just kidding. You are so sweet that I’ll share. It gives me an excuse to meet you :).
I have a very vivid memory of sobbing to my dad because my mother refused to let me get a lizard. I wanted it for months and gave several presentations as to why I should get one. A week before Christmas she sat me down and told me it wasn’t going to happen so I wouldn’t be disappointed…
love this! I am going to make them for my madre. Either the original ones with carob chips or these with carob powder…. or both versions 🙂 My mom doesn’t like chocolate, I know right… crazy, but she loves pb cookies so I’ll still keep her 😉
Yummo they look great! Your peanut butter version are similar to something I do with protein powder and peanut butter 🙂 I am going to try these this week!
Growing up I didn’t want an exotic pet. Just a puppy! We lived on a busy road back home in Sydney, so puppy’s were out of the question 🙁 One day I will have a puppy – and it will be amazing!
these look so good! and exotic pets..yes..i have wanted many. at one point, we wanted an ostrich. actually, my brother wanted one and since i was 7 yrs old, he convinced me to want one too. shockingly, we never got one 😉
They are SO easy and look great!
Wow, I may skip trying the original ones and go straight for making the chocolate ones.
Haha oh the alligator just cracked me up 🙂
I am definitely making these!!!
For some reason as i child I always wanted a horse, not really exotic, but not very realistic since i live in the city. I love that these are no bake, those are my two favorite words!!!
Ahmazing! I am soo happy you made these! Can’t wait to try! I actually always wanted a flamingo 🙂
Ugh Katie you always post these fantastic recipes right when I run out of the stuff I need to make them! (Stupid unsalted peanuts)
I can’t believe you didn’t chocolatize these sooner!
I MADE YOUR ORIGINAL ONES YESTERDAY and it was totally one of my fave CCK recipes!! I can’t WAIT to make your choc ones too! 😀
I also just made the original ones. I rolled them in cinnamon afterwards and they look so pretty 🙂 i will have to try the chocolate ones too now!
Yum – chocolate on chocolate, can’t go wrong with that. I did somehow go wrong when I make the pumpkin cream cheese bars – it was my first attempt at vegan eggs (and I think I screwed that up). 🙂
Oh no! 🙁
Can you tell me more about what you did? (i.e. what type of “egg” and what flour and any other specifics)? The egg shouldn’t have made much of a difference in the success of the recipe, because I think it’d even be fine to leave it out completely.
Chocolate makes everything better! These looks great!
And guess who (finally) made your coconut melties today?? They are in my fridge now, and I cant wait to try them 😀
