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 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 :))
I tried this recipe last night and was a bit freaked out at first, because the dough came out super oily… I had to literally squeeze oil out of it as I shaped it into cookies! Weird.
Nothing a little stay on paper towels couldn’t fix, though. And of course… the cookies tasted GREAT. <3
these look delish!
I wanted a river otter when I was little – so random! They always looked so cute and cuddly floating on their backs at the zoo 🙂
I’ve always thought it would be awesome to have a seahorse as a pet. Random, no? But they are so awesome! You can actually get them for salt water aquariums, but they are uber expensive, and hard to keep alive. Perhaps when I’m rich and famous one day I can have one. Or I’ll just stick to cats.
Oh my gosh! These look amazing! I made the original ones for my totally non-Vegan Dad (who is obsessed with peanut butter cookies) and he LOVED them! I know he will want to try these as well!!
Is it just me, or is EVERYTHING you post something that MUST be made immediately? 🙂
Wow! These were soo good, and I didn’t feel guilty about giving my daughter chocolate!! I love looking at your blog. I strive to be healthy but I have such a sweet tooth. It’s nice to have some decent recipes to try. In my younger days, I would experiment with different ways to make desserts healthier. Please never try to make Skittle cookies unless you want to break your teeth!!! Besides, who wants a cookie with out chocolate in it!
LOL I always hated skittles! I wanted them to be M&Ms and was always disappointed they didn’t have chocolate inside the colorful shells ;).
