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!
….loved these!!!!
These look incredible…can’t wait to make them. BTW when i was dating my husband he owned a 4 ft savannah monitor. That thing was SCARY! Thankfully he got rid of it before we got married. It was a little too exotic for me.
I need to make around 6 dozen of these, how many servings do you think your original recipe will give
(i I do them in small balls)?? These look delicious!
Hmmm… honestly I don’t know :(. I usually eat so much of the raw dough that I don’t really know how much it makes! And what’s leftover, I just smush into bars, balls, or mismatched shapes.
OMG. These were great. We are high-raw, and so the no-bake, no refined sugar aspect of these is perfect for us. And nevermind all that! They were REALLY GOOD. We had 7 decently sized (maybe 2 inch) cookies from the recipe. They were gone in mere minutes. Going to double it for Christmas tomorrow. THANK YOU!!
What do the raisins do?
Just made this recipe – yummy! The peanut butter flavor is wonderful. I used a round tablespoon for a scoop, which resulted in 9 little balls. Only 6 are left…
Just made these up. Very yummy, had to add a few more raisins as mix was a little claggy (probably to do with my pb). Nice and easy to make, especially good for those of us with little energy.
Yum! What a perfect little treat that is so easy to whip up (and not have any lying around). Thank you Katie, you have done it again!
So yummy. Like trail mix in soft cookie form! I made a batch and the dough came out a little crumbly, im guessing because I used the Smuckers natural pb (the kind you have to stir) so they didn’t hold the form of a cookie. I made them into little balls and put them in mini cupcake Linnets and will see if they firm up in the fridge.
I use natural pb too (Whole Foods brand), and they’re pretty sticky for me… Maybe it’s a food processor thing? What food processor do you use?
Need to try this recipe ASAP!!
