These.
Are.
Addictive.
Very addictive.
So addictive you can’t eat just one.
So addictive you can’t eat just two.
So addictive they should come with a warning label.
Oh so very addictive.
Not for sharing.
Normally, I am very good about sharing my desserts with any friends who show up at my door. (And due to the fact that my friends know I make desserts for a living, inevitably someone will always show up at my door.) But as soon as I made these cookies, I knew I had something special on my hands. Therefore, I barred the door shut.
And contemplated building a moat around my house.
With crocodiles.
Hungry crocodiles.
I’ve had way too much fun with the commentary on this post.
Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Cookies
Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Cookies
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup plus 3 tbsp raisins
- salt to taste (I used a little over 1/4 tsp, but I like salty pb cookies!)
- 2 tbsp roasted, unsalted peanuts (If you can only find salted, reduce or omit added salt)
- 1/8 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Throw everything into your food processor (I used an Osterizer) and combine until very smooth. Roll into balls, cookies, bars, or simply eat shovel the dough into your mouth, straight from the machine. Dough can be stored on the counter, in the fridge, or in the freezer.
Or in your belly.
These cookies taste like eating unbaked peanut butter cookie dough.
Mmmmmmm a giant ball of peanut butter cookie dough.
Question of the Day: Hmmm I can’t think of one. I’m too busy dreaming about how addictive these peanut butter cookies are!
Thanks for all the comments today on the Chocolate Covered Katie Facebook Page.
Katie…this is, hands down, my absolute FAVORITE recipe on your blog. And choosing a favorite was tough, let me tell you! But I just wanted to thank you so much for creating this easy, DELICIOUS recipe!
Oh wow, Charlotte, I am SO happy you like it so much!! It’s one of my favorites too… I keep meaning to post my chocolate version! 🙂
There’s a chocolate version? Oh my goodness, I can’t wait to try it! :3
I’m eating this dough as I type, it is heavenly! Thank you as always, Katie! x
Oh. My. Gosh. These are AMAZING!!! I made a batch yesterday, and my eyes literally rolled back in my head when I tasted it. Needless to say, the dough is gone. So sad… but the good news is I have more ingredients to make another batch. PB Cookie Dough heaven, here I come!
Thanks!
Hey Katie!
I tried making these yesterday in my food processor, and at first, the raisins wouldn’t break apart… Then when it went on for a bit, they started getting pulverised, but the peanut butter also released a TON of oil, so when I was handling the dough, an incredible amount of oil was present which made it unappealing to eat and hard to handle!
Any solutions?
Hmmm, sorry I don’t know! Maybe use a drier pb? Mine is never oily at all :(. I use natural pb from Whole Foods, so maybe it’s drier?
Hmm good point!
Yeah the PB originally was pretty oily. It’s the smooth kind from my natural food store. I think I’ll try making it with PB from the machine! It’s sooo incredibly thick.
I made this last night and OMG you are not kidding when you say they are addictive. The raisins hold these together so well and the peanuts with the peanut butter……….AHHHHHH. so good!!!!!!!!!!
The student “I have no ingredients and no equipment” version:
3 parts pb : 1 part jam : 2 parts oats – mash together in a bowl.
Nommy 🙂
I also want to try it with banana instead of the jam…
How many cookies does this make?
Thanks!
Depends on how big you roll them. You can make balls or small cookies or big ones, or even larabars!
i just made these but i didn’t have peanuts on hand so i omitted them, and i used prunes instead of raisins. yum!!
I made these today! I rolled them into balls, stuck them in the freezer for about a half hour, and took them over to my boyfriend’s for a treat. 🙂 I love feeding him healthy treats when he doesn’t know it! This is a verrryyyy good and simple recipe, I will definately be keeping it!
Recipe is really tempting. It sounds great and looks very inviting! 😀
