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!
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!
