Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Cookies

by Chocolate-Covered Katie on August 24, 2011

These.

Are.

Addictive.

healthy pb cookies

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.

raw peanut butter cookies

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.

I’ve had way too much fun with the commentary on this post.

Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Cookies

Inspired by these

(gluten-free and sugar-free too!)

  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup plus 3T raisins
  • salt to taste (I used a little over 1/4 tsp, but I like salty pb cookies!)
  • 2 T roasted, unsalted peanuts (If you can only find salted, reduce or omit added salt)
  • 1/8 tsp pure vanilla extract

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!

And thanks for all the love today on My Facebook Page.

Peanut butter is my latest addiction. I WILL be trying these! I love how I can eat vegan cookie dough without being scared of food poisoning and salmonella!

Dana C August 24, 2011 at 2:15 pm

Cookie Dough is one of my favorite flavors!

Quick question….SO I tried to make you pizzart but I used regular whole wheat flour instead of pastry flour and I think it really messed it up!

I have a suggestion….You should do a Chocolate Covered Katie “Pantry Staples”. Things at the grocery store you need to whip up a lot of your recipes. Most of the time I dont have the things on your recipe list and I get all disappointed :( SO I think it would be a great idea if you just made a list of the MAIN things your readers need to make your recipes, then we can all go shopping and make your yummys whenever we want!!

I like the suggestion of the grocery list…things that you use a lot in your recipes so that we could throw together more than one recipe within a coupld of days!!

I want to crumble one (or two, or three) of those on top of some banana soft serve! Nothing beats peanut butter and banana. It’s interesting that you used raisins instead of dates. I wonder if there’s a noticeable difference in taste and texture.

These look amazing and perfect! I have a few versions of nobake peanut butter balls and bites and PB cookie dough is of course an amazing thing and your pics make me want to dive right in!

Most recently I just made flourless PB cookies and then flourless chocolate PB cookies. Both can be made vegan with a flax egg.

There is pretty much no wrong way to eat PB cookies or dough in my book. Love your NOBAKE recipe. Perfect.

Also, yes, the chocolate chip cookies are on the chewy side. I recommend using oat flour. And make sure you use baking soda, not powder. And don’t omit the brown sugar.

Megan August 24, 2011 at 7:36 pm

Hi Katie! I am working on a nutrition study that involves participant consumption of protein powder every day. I have been trying to come up with some healthier baked goods/treats that they could put the powder in (all the recipes that a former grad student gave me called for high fructose corn syrup…). I made the cookie dough fudge babies and the protein worked out great in those (and I’m sure they will work great with this post as well). However the blondies came out hard as a rock (even after adding in applesauce and a little pumpkin to add more moisture). I was wondering if you have experimented with any type of protein powder in your recipes and if you had any suggestions for keeping baked goods from becoming too dry? Love your blog and your recipes!

Reply

Chocolate-Covered Katie August 24, 2011 at 11:40 pm

Hey Megan,
Unfortunately, I don’t really use protein powder often because I haven’t found one I absolutely love. I do know that it works well in my Rice Crispy Treat Babies, though! Maybe one of these days I will have to splurge for Sun Warrior… I keep hearing everyone say how much they love that one.

Reply

Megan August 25, 2011 at 1:01 am

Okay thanks I’ll definitely try those! I haven’t seen any posts with it so I figured it was a long shot! I have heard good things about Sun Warrior as well. My bf was using vanilla chai Vega but he said the amount of stevia that they use seems a bit off…and yes they are all so expensive!

Reply

Chocolate-Covered Katie August 25, 2011 at 1:04 am

Yeah, I agree about the weird aftertaste in the vega!

Reply

Laura November 2, 2011 at 1:08 am

It may seem counter-intuitive, but just because applesauce is wet doesn’t mean that it will make your blondies softer. The solution you may be looking for is to add a bit of flour and that should soften them up.

Reply

Emilia August 24, 2011 at 7:57 pm

These look so so good, I can just imagine how peanut buttery they taste. I might even try to make these using a different kind of nut butter…though I’m sure the peanut butter is magnificent. :)

Reply

Jenny$1983 August 24, 2011 at 8:02 pm

I usually hate this, but: O … M … G 8-0 Wow…

I *just* made the peanut butter babies – and the chocolate peanut butter babies – yesterday! My dad leaves the last handful of salted peanuts (he buys them, I only ever eat/use the raw, unsalted, unroasted variety) in the bag then moves on to a new one so there were several near-empty packets hanging around in the cupboard driving me mad, so yesterday I turned them into little fudge babies of heavenliness … and now I need him to leave more so I can use them for these: peanut butter and raisin is one of my all time favourite flavour combinations! For example, I can promise you that Emma@Sweet Tooth Runner’s version of PB&Co’s Cinnamon-Raisin PB tastes amazing – although I haven’t tasted the original, I’m sure it can’t be much better! :D

Sorry for the essay, but I’m passionate about this ;) Thank you for this lovely recipe, and I think you had just the right amount of fun with the commentary: love it! :)

Chocolate-Covered Katie August 25, 2011 at 1:03 am

Indeed! Here is the direct link in case it’s useful (I hope Emma doesn’t mind, or yourself – I’m never sure about link etiquette on blogs, I don’t mean to offend anyone): http://sweettoothrunner.com/2011/04/01/friday-faves-4/

I actually just used one cup of Meridian Smooth No Added Salt No Added Sugar Peanut Butter instead of processing raw peanuts, and stirred in the other ingredients; I think I added an extra teaspoon of cinnamon – I much prefer making my own flavoured nut butters as it’s so easy and completely customizable! :)

Hi Katie!
I made these, and the taste and texture is good – like everyone says! I’m wondering if you had the problem of these being really greasy. I literally had a puddle of grease on my counter after I made these, and my hands were coated with oil. Weird huh?? Did anyone else have that problem? I did not add extra oil so i found this strange.

Reply

Chocolate-Covered Katie August 29, 2011 at 12:15 am

Hmmm… I didn’t. Maybe it’s a difference in the pb we used? Or, did you fridge the dough before rolling into balls/bars?

Reply

Rachel August 29, 2011 at 11:34 am

I did not refrigerate them, and I used TJ’s natural peanut butter….hmmm. Tis a mystery! :-)

Reply

Chocolate-Covered Katie August 29, 2011 at 11:37 am

Try refrigerating the dough first. It makes them harder. Also, I used WF pb, which is kinda dry to begin with.

Reply

Jami August 31, 2011 at 11:30 pm

Could I make these without the raisins? I don’t care for them. Or would it change the consistency?

What about subbing an equal amount of pitted dates (such as SunMaid)?

I just made these. HOLY COW. I have eaten half of them already. Luckily they are relatively healthy! I added some cocoa powder to make them chocolatey (I know you would approve).

I just discovered your website through Facebook and knew I had to try these, as I had all the ingredients.

I use the Valencia w/ toasted flax peanut butter from Trader Joe’s, and dates instead of raisins (no raisins in the house right now, but I’ll be sure to get some). Absolutely delicious! Such a satisfying and wholesome treat to quiet down the sweet tooth!

I made these and your peanut butter milkshake (with my homemade peanut butter!) and loved both of them! Posted the links on my blog today and have gotten a few of my friends addicted to the cookie dough ;)

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?

Reply

Chocolate-Covered Katie October 4, 2011 at 3:05 pm

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?

Reply

Rasha Taha October 4, 2011 at 3:30 pm

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.

Jessica October 4, 2011 at 6:04 pm

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!!!!!!!!!!

Depends on how big you roll them. You can make balls or small cookies or big ones, or even larabars!

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!

Erin January 5, 2012 at 1:03 am

Today I made these twice! I’m addicted to peanut butter so all of my natural peanut butter was out so I had to use regular jiff…I used 1/4 cup and they came out extremely sticky still—too much peanut butter! (not necessarily a bad thing ;) ) Then I tried them a second time improvising and making my own recipe and it was AMAZING! I used the 1/4 cup + 3 T of raisins, 2.5 T of almond butter, 1/4 T vanilla extract and about 2 T crushed roasted and salted soybeans. holy moly I’m in love with these cookies…i kept it in a giant dough ball in my fridge and have been picking pieces off all day, by the end of the day i plan on finishing it off by myself! :) thanks for the recipe, and again, i highly suggest the almond butter and soybeans, good protein sources too!

Warning: do not make these with freshly stirred Smucker’s Natural PB… I made this mistake and the dough was way too oily! They turned out amazingly delicious once I left them in the fridge overnight, though! Great recipe Katie, I’m rarely ever disappointed by anything I find on your blog!

Becca January 9, 2012 at 3:33 am

Hi Katie! I love your website, love, love, love! A friend recently recommended it to me and I’m so happy she did! I made these for the 1st time (w/slight exceptions) and they came out PERFECT! They were so awesome, I’ve tried to make them again twice but they are coming out way too soft, I can’t mold them at all :( It’s so frustrating!! Here’s what I’ve done if you can help..please!

1st (perfect cookies!)
1/4c pb (just bought, room temp)
2T peanuts
1/8tsp vanilla
1/4c cooked oats
salt
I didn’t have raisins so I blended all this and it came out perfect – just like cookies!!

2nd time (wanted them a little sweeter…)
1/4c pb (from fridge)
2T peanuts
1/4c UNcooked oats
1pkt Stevia
Salt
1/8 vanilla (could’ve been 1/4tsp??)

3rd time same as 2nd but w/5 drops of liquid Stevia instead of pkt, no oats, and after I blended I put it in the freezer for an hour in the hopes it would be moldable – not :(

I’m going to try them this week and do them to the T but can you see something causing them to be too soft?? Thank You Thank You!!

I am addicted to your blog let alone these
cookies :) want to give a suggestion though. If you can also add the calories per serving of your recipes it’ll be a BIG favor for people who are watching their calories. I want to try your so many recipes but I am too lazy to find out the cal. in them. Or may be I am missing it.
Love how you talk. I keep smiling when I am on your blog. I am not a vegan but love these vegan recipes. :)

soniyamas January 10, 2012 at 4:20 pm

Ok so I finally calculated the calories for these cookies. A 7gm ball of a cookie gives 61 calories. Which is good to me. These were the first thing I made this morning, even before breakfast. I couldn’t help myself thinking about these the whole night. I loved it. even my 2 year old who hate raisins, ate it. Thanks so much Katie for this and all other wonderful recipes I will be trying soon. :)

A new fan of you:)

Chocolate-Covered Katie January 12, 2012 at 2:13 pm

Hi Soniyamas!

I actually do have calorie counts for most of my recipes, especially the more current ones. If you scroll under the actual recipe and instructions, you’ll find a link that says “Calorie and Nutritional Info” and that’s where I have the cal counts listed :) .

I’m so glad you liked the cookies!

I just made these….yummo!!! I just hope I can save a couple for my 3 yr old daughter for after school which is less than an hour from now. I may just have to make more. Next time, I will double or triple the batch. My husband will devour these and love these have no added sugar since he is diabetic. Thanks for your wonderful website.

Kylee January 13, 2012 at 1:44 am

YUM!

My version came out a little runny at first and then after refrigerated, it’s a little crumbly.

I’m just eating it with a spoon instead of making cookies :P

So good!! Thank you!

Kylee January 16, 2012 at 7:11 pm

Seriously.. I just made another double batch today. Amazing on yogurt in the morning! I’d LOOOOVE it if you posted a recipe for a different flavor.. maybe a classic chocolate chip or snickerdoodle? Maybe if you used almond butter instead of peanut butter it would serve as a more bland base that could be flavored any which way? Just a thought….

I was wondering if you have the number of servings for any of your recipes. Maybe it’s in the nutrition information that sometimes goes with the posts? It is helpful to me to know how many people each recipe will serve, so I know how big of a batch to make when I am taking the dessert to a pot luck, etc.

Reply

Chocolate-Covered Katie January 24, 2012 at 10:45 pm

I try to list the # of servings as often as possible… but with recipes like this, it’s hard because you can roll them into balls or make bars or even cookie-cuttered shapes. So it really depends :) .

Reply

Melissa January 25, 2012 at 3:35 am

I just made these and while they are very delicious, I am having that oily problem, too. I just patted the excess off and put in the fridge to eat in the morning. I will definitely have to get some drier pb for these because they are so good.

I just made these…omg they are SOOO good. I used lightly salted peanuts and didn’t add any salt and they were delicious. I’m thinking of adding some protein powder to my next batch. Thank you SO much (btw my friend is making your normal peanut butter cookies, we’ll see how those go)

Hello, love your recipes! I just had one question, I know you don’t really like to do calorie information, but I was wondering what the “serving sizes” are on some of your recipes. The single lady cupcakes/etc. are obviously for one serving, but how many servings would be in something like the brownie batter dip or this cookie dough recipe? Cuz I don’t want to end up eating a whole bowl of something that was meant for more like six people or something, lol.

The dip is meant to have multiple servings… but once again, I can’t say how many because it depends. But yeah, it’s definitely not meant for just one serving!

These didn’t taste all that much like peanut butter cookie dough to me. They still kind of had a fruity taste from the raisins. I just added a little bit of grape jelly and they were delicious/healthy peanut butter and jelly cookies!!!
