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!
So I’m sitting on the couch craving chocolate & PB & I knew I needed to search your site for the perfect recipe to hit the spot. So now I’m sitting here eating this with a spoon 😉
LOL aw so glad I could help… I only wish I hadn’t run out of cocoa powder this morning so I could have some too! 😉
So I am new to your blog and have already bought groceries for like half of your recipes 🙂 I just recently lost a lot of weight and have been trying to figure out how to curb my sweet tooth without sacrificing the work I have done…Amen to your blog LOL! I feel like this was exactly what I needed, thank you!
On another note though – I have an Oster blender (I am assuming this is the same thing, as I am knew to this) – How do you blend so many dry ingredients and not hurt the motor in it? I just made these and had to add a little bit of Almond Milk bc I thought my blender was going to blow up….I am just curious since I will be using these recipes now and I notice a lot of them are kinda the same with dry ingredients (or super thick ingredients for that matter)…This first trial was a definitely eat with a spoon kinda cookie 🙂 still amazing though! I added a dropper of liquid flavored chocolate stevia and it’s like angels were singing 🙂
Honestly, I think you need to use a food processor… I haven’t had much success with these types of recipes using a blender. The Cuisinart works really well!
YuUuM! Chocolate, peanut butter, and raisins are my favorite things in the world! I think we have verrryyy similar tastes!
Finally tried these, and they are delish! Used sultanas instead of raisins, and had to sub almonds for peanuts, since there were only 6 peanuts left in my bag! Probably would add only 1/8tsp salt next time, but thanks for sharing the recipe!
PS – for those interested, mine made 10x 20gm balls, at 95 calories each.
Thanks for the great recipe!
Yum! I made 1/4th the recipe just to see and yum! Def. make these again! I’m gonna try the original ones and dip them in chocolate next time! I love your recipes!
Girl, I gotta tell you you rock. Your Frappuccino recipe is right on the money. Today I used half milk half soy and it’s still quite good. I think I’d be better with only 1/2 or 3/4 c milk though. I also found another recipe for a Chai mix and added a few pinches of that, so now I have my very favorite … a Chai Frappuccino! You’re the best! On this recipe, do you have the nutrition info somewhere (so I know if I can indulge)?
Aw thank you! Sorry, if I have nutritional stats for a recipe they’ll be listed on the post.
These are like my “hobo” cookies: I make them when I want something delicious but don’t have that many ingredients on hand ;P quick, easy, beautiful, and DELICIOUS. Thank you for sharing your genius with us!!
I made these and added chia seeds, ground flax and hazelnut flavored agave. Sooooo Yummy
