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!
yum Katie, I will be making these. Never met a cookie I did not like!
🙂
These look so moist, gooey, rich, and perfect. The original ones look great but anything that dark and chocolatey is just calling out for me…even more 🙂
Holy deliciousness!! I absolutely cannot wait to make these!!!
Seriously those just look…foodgasmic. Chocolate. Peanut butter. That quickly?!
I’m a big fan of instant gratification 😉
XOXO
I didn’t think your recipes could get any better.. but this one.. DANG!
YUM times a million!!!
Holy moly, these cookies look delicious! This recipe is so easy too! I’m glad I don’t have to go out to buy any ingredients haha.
I don’t have a food processor though – will a blender be enough?
I think so… if you try it, let me know how it turns out! 🙂
Flourless cookies? I can’t wait to try these! 😀
Lol, long time no comment! I’ve been keeping up with your posts though. These look divine, and perfect considering I have no real oven.
By the bye, I made a post about desserty stuff I’ve been making recently. There’s a lot of your influence in there!

Mindi (my sister) loves the vegan stuff, even though she’s not at all vegan! She’s been really enjoying my tofu/coconut butter/nut butter creations! Your inspiration makes it happen =D
Aww I love it! I left a comment… but I think my comments are going to spam :(.
Oh I need these in my belly nowwww
If you consider it exotic I wanted a hamster/guniea pig…LOL 😀 I wanted a monkey at one point too!!
Ha ha! First of all- these cookies look amazing. I can’t wait to try them. Your recipes NEVER disappoint!!! I always wanted a hairless cat. And guess what- I got one about 7 years go. Pretty funny. Even funnier that my husband hates him. 🙂 When I was really young I wanted a skunk. I always thought it would be cool to walk around with a skunk on a leash. ha ha!
I am DROOLING! Literally. There is a watering in my mouth! Damn, girl! And I thought you did it with the first round of this recipe! Pretty sure this will be happening in my kitchen later today!
I did the original recipe splitt it in half and added cocoa in one half! so now i have both flavours and let me tell you I LIKE IT! they are both yummie so yummie that when i do this next time (yes there will be a next time, many next times) I make both flavours because they are to good to just make one! 😉
Oh that is genius! I hate making decisions… thanks for such a fun idea. Now I don’t have to choose :).
When I was really little I swore I would have a tiger like Princess Jasmine. Now I’m glad I don’t!
And those cookies look to die for.
Omg these cookies look AMAZING! And I have all the ingredients at home! Love when that happens! And I used to want a monkey too! Now I want a little mini pig- specifically a royal dandie that is 10 lbs full size!
These look amazing! From one Katie to another, I have to say I have been thoroughly enjoying your blog and look forward to making some of these delicious treats.
Aww thanks, Katie!
(P.S. nice name :))
