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 didn’t have peanuts so used raw walnuts and added a bit extra salt . . . supper yummy! This is better than any “bar” that I have tried, can’t wait to try with morning coffee!
Hi Katie, I just discovered your site (I had a yen for chocolate mousse and “healthy chocolate mousse” brought me here), and it is really fun and appealing. I decided to try your PB cookies, both plain and chocolate variation, for Quaker meeting potluck. However, I could tell I was getting a little too excited at the prospect, so before I made them I needed to do something to ward off the growing desire to eat them all. So I calculated the nutritional info, so I’d know how many calories a binge might add up to. I didn’t see any nutritional info on the recipe, altho I know you sometimes provide it.
This is per cookie, if you make 6 cookies from a batch.

I used SparkPeople’s SparkRecipes to calculate this. I could post the recipe to SparkPeople – giving you full credit – or just keep it private. I didn’t know how you felt about this. Thanks!
I subbed dry quick oats for the peanuts. They turned out so delicious!
Thank you, Katie! 🙂
Hey you inspiring lady!!
I am following you from across the ocean – Norway 🙂
Just wondering .. how do you think this will be with chips?
Just sayin .. you should reeeeaaally try it out. I just did!
Thank you so much for sharing your imagination!
I will do whatever I can to get a hold of your upcoming book!

So definitely making these soon. One random question: do you know if raisins go bad? I have some in my cupboard with a “best by” date of exactly a year ago. They smell and look okay, and I didn’t touch them, but they don’t look hard.
I wish I had a dehydrator, I’ve got tons of grapes, just not many raisins!
Can I use a blender instead of a food processor?
Hey Katie! I’m a BIG BIG fan of this website! I’ve tried a couple of recipes and they have turned out amazing! I was wondering if you have ever tried the Nature Valley Sweet and Salty bars,? I LOVE those bars, and they are partially healthy, however they are very expensive down here where I live and there is only peanut butter version where I live, I’ve never tried the almond nor cashew. Is there any healthier home made version? I’d really really apreciate it!
I haven’t tried them. I’ll look for them, though 🙂
I had a real good laugh at the commentary, already was in a great mood!
Thanks for sharing your delicious recipe, I’m about to give it a whirl.
Coud you the nutrition break down on these?
Sorry, I hadn’t yet started calculating nutrition facts back when I posted these. But you can use caloriecount.com’s online calorie calculator to get a basic estimate. Hope that helps!
Can I use natural peanut butter (the kind where you have to stir the oil in that’s on top) for these, or is a natural no stir peanut butter better?? (such as Earth Balance peanut butter or Peanut Butter and Company)
Yes you can use natural.
