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!)
- 2Â 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.
I just made these. Good, but mine are not thick enough to make into balls. dont know whats wrong????
Everytime I see in your instructions to add salt, it puts me off. I really find it strange to have salt with chocolates, salt with peanut butter. My favorite chocolate is snickers because it contains peanuts but sweet at the same time. Is there some “sweet” recipe for your peanut cookies? Thanks
These are pretty sweet; the salt only brings out the sweetness. For me, I couldn’t taste the salt at all. Also, you could just omit the salt if you really don’t want to add any.
I know a zillion people have already said this, but these are a.mazing. Thanks for sharing!!!!
These look SO GOOD! Has anyone had success making them in a Magic Bullet? (We don’t have a regular food processor.)
Update: I went ahead and gave it a try today because I was craving cookies. So for anyone else interested in making these in a Magic Bullet, it can be done!! Just chop the peanuts a little before you throw everything in and you’ll be good to go! Also, Katie – you have seriously outdone yourself with these. AMAZING! I wouldn’t have guessed that something so decadent could have come from a few simple (healthy) ingredients! WOW. I bought a Costco-sized box of raisins because I will be making these a lot. Thank you.
I made these again today – they are one of our favorites (and my daughter’s hands-down favorite). Anyway, I don’t usually measure my vanilla, just splash a tiny bit in. Well, I got distracted as I was going to pour the vanilla and instead of a little splash it was…..well….a big splash. Shoot….they were all runny and I was trying to figure out how to fix them. My daughter loves oatmeal as well, so I thought I’d toss some in. I added in about 3 tablespoons of quick-cooking oats to the mixture and stirred by hand (the other ingredients had already been mixed in the Magic Bullet), then added 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips. Oh. My. Word. DELICIOUS! Like a no-bake cookie. My daughter gave them two thumbs up and asked if I can always make them this way from now on. A mistake turned into a delicious discovery!
Has anyone tried adding protein powder to these? This is one of the few bars I can find without oats was hoping to up the protein for post workout any help here?
I just made this with dates and added some chocolate chips, they are delicious. Even my very picky husband loved them. Now I am going to have hide the rest so he doesn’t eat them all in one sitting. Thanks for the recipe
