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
Print This Recipe
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.

24th August 2011 at 2:13 pmPeanut 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!

3rd December 2012 at 12:57 amIf you don’t use any animal products I believe you are safe. The trick is substituting for
the eggs. Flaxseeds boiled for 20 minutes yield a substitute that I have found for a
great replacement for the eggs. 2 quarts water with 4 T of flaxseeds. Very messy and
goey but works wonderfully as a replacement. However, I am not a medical authority
and if you want some definitive answer you should check with your health care professional.

24th August 2011 at 2:15 pmCookie 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!!

Andrea Smith says
24th August 2011 at 2:41 pmI 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!!

Chocolate-Covered Katie says
24th August 2011 at 6:01 pmI love that idea. I’ll definitely work on making a list!
Liz says
22nd September 2011 at 3:56 amI made your Melties and flourless cookies on a whim the other day!! It does make it more exciting when I already have the stuff to throw together!!
katie @KatieDid says
24th August 2011 at 2:17 pmraisins are the new dates?! These sound GOOD!
Kara @Nutritious-n-Delicious says
12th June 2012 at 7:52 pmI think this being raisins are much easier on my college budget! Haha. Sad truth.
katherine says
19th August 2013 at 11:41 pmat my local grocery store, you can get medjool dates for a whopping $12.89 per pound! they are so freakin’ expensive it isn’t even funny. Therfore i usually use pure maple syrup, honey, raisins, or (GASP!) real sugar. or i find another recipe. that’s why i love my Katie because she usually doesn’t use dates.
Qi Ting @ Misadventures of Fat free Baking says
24th August 2011 at 2:19 pmGreat commentary! but if i were one of the friends you mentioned, I’ll bring my own spoon… and other utesils… you know… to shorten the preparation time for you? 😀
Julie H. of Spinach and Sprinkles says
24th August 2011 at 2:25 pmMmmmm! I wasn’t expecting the recipe to look like this but they turned out so great looking!!! –I think I’d lock my door at all times if I made dessert for a living! 🙂
VEGirl says
24th August 2011 at 2:29 pmPeanut butter cookie dough MILKSHAKE? I need bananas ASAP me thinks.

becky says
24th August 2011 at 3:25 pmI think those need some chocolate chips in there 😉
Megan says
24th August 2011 at 3:30 pmYUM. These look amazing Katie! I bet they would be good in a peanut butter cookie dough ice cream too! I can’t wait to try them…and I love that they are sugar free!!!!
Jennifer says

I’m happy they’re so simple to make too! : )
Jess says
24th August 2011 at 4:44 pmlovely, as usual. raisins are an interesting choice though, no? 🙂
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
24th August 2011 at 6:02 pmPeople kept telling me that they used raisins for fudge babies, so I had to try it for myself!
Rachel @ the Avid Appetite says
24th August 2011 at 4:51 pmyesss…these look so moist and wonderful…just how cookie dough should be!
Lilly says
24th August 2011 at 5:01 pmholy deliciousness! making these later for sure 🙂
Allison says
24th August 2011 at 5:06 pmI’m thinking that these would be awesome with almond butter too!
Minnooo says
24th August 2011 at 5:36 pmI must go home now and find all sources of peanut butter to make this recipe like now. You have this effect on me. Thanks.
Emily @ Glitz Glam Granola says
24th August 2011 at 5:36 pmOhhh these look delicious!!! They look like the consistency of a peanut butter cookie larabar too… yum! I think I might half the amount of raisins and add some mini chocolate chips 🙂
Nikki says
24th August 2011 at 5:57 pmYour commentary just made me day! Well, in addition to this new delicious looking recipe that is 🙂
Katherine says
24th August 2011 at 6:13 pmConsidering that I have 3 kinds of peanut butter in my room right now, these will likely be making an appearance very soon…I bet they’d be good with my cashew butter too!
Dawn @ Blonde on a Mission says
24th August 2011 at 2:20 pmA peanut butter cookie dough MILKSHAKE?!
*drool*
I love that these are no bake! No bake = no wait.
I might just eat it with a spoon 😀
[email protected] says
24th August 2011 at 2:29 pmYummy!!! So easy to make and guaranteed to be delicious – how can anything with peanut butter NOT be! 🙂
Have a great day Katie!!
Lisa says
24th August 2011 at 6:45 pmyum!!! you8 know I love mah peanut butter Katie. and well…who DOESN”T like cookie dough??
so yea, going to buy raisins now and make these. I LOVE CCK!!!!!!!
Jen says
24th August 2011 at 2:47 pmI 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.
Holly @ The Runny Egg says
24th August 2011 at 2:55 pmAnd all I can think about is how I have all these ingredients at home! Delicious.
Katie @ Nutrition in a peanut shell says
24th August 2011 at 2:55 pmAhahha- your posts are always so cute! A moat…where do you come up with this stuff? 🙂
[email protected] of Sugar Free says
24th August 2011 at 3:07 pmOh my goodness-anything with peanut butter is delicious! Sometimes I’ll just throw some oats and a banana with a huge scoop of pb and eat the “dough” plain!
Lauren @ What Lauren Likes says
24th August 2011 at 3:18 pmWow. these do look for sure addictive! Great Work haha 🙂
Megan says
24th August 2011 at 7:36 pmHi 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!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
24th August 2011 at 11:40 pmHey 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.
Megan says
25th August 2011 at 1:01 amOkay 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!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
25th August 2011 at 1:04 amYeah, I agree about the weird aftertaste in the vega!
Laura says
2nd November 2011 at 1:08 amIt 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.
Emilia says
24th August 2011 at 7:57 pmThese 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. 🙂
Jenny$1983 says
24th August 2011 at 8:02 pmI 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 [email protected] 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! 😀
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 says
25th August 2011 at 1:03 amWell Emma is just awesome in general… why haven’t I made that??? It sounds incredible!
Jenny$1983 says
25th August 2011 at 7:57 amIndeed! 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! 🙂
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
25th August 2011 at 10:50 amOh I am SO glad you gave me the link. So so glad! Thank you :). Saves me the time of having to look. I definitely want to make this!
Kelly @ Not So Rocky Road says
24th August 2011 at 4:07 pmMan you post so much good stuff! I drool over your posts everyday!! However will I find the time to make all these delicious goodies!?!?! I see Christmas goodies in my family & friends future LOL.
Natalie @ Nitty Grits says
24th August 2011 at 8:14 pmThese look delicious! What kind of peanut butter did you use? Creamy? Crunchy? Although, I’m sure either would be amazing.
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
25th August 2011 at 1:03 amI used Whole Foods plain (it comes in a red jar), which is creamy… but I bet crunchy would be fun!
kaila @ healthy helper! says
24th August 2011 at 4:18 pmMmm Mmm!!! These sound better than the pb cookie larabars!!! I am going to have to try these out for comparison!! I love me some PB!!
Maryea @ Happy Healthy Mama says
24th August 2011 at 8:22 pmMy two year old would eat the entire batch herself! These look incredible.
Sweet and Savvy says
24th August 2011 at 8:25 pmYum!! I love dough – ey cookies! Especially PB ones. Flours and such add too much bulk and take away from the yummy flavor.
Tara Deal says
24th August 2011 at 8:28 pmThese look amazing! I am FOR SURE making them soon!
Jen says
24th August 2011 at 8:43 pmThis might be my favorite thing you have ever posted.
Jessica @ Jess Go Bananas says
24th August 2011 at 6:05 pmThis is bananas.
[email protected] says
24th August 2011 at 6:19 pmOh my lord. Peanut butter and cookie dough? Almost as good as chocolate. Since your door is locked and I won’t be able to show up and devour your stash, I guess I should make these on my own!
Emma (Sweet Tooth Runner) says
24th August 2011 at 6:23 pmI JUST WANT TO EAT THAT BIG BALL OF DOUGH!!! I am getting some peanuts. And then making these. I want them SO BAD!! Please please please marry me Katie?! 😀
katie says
24th August 2011 at 10:34 pmThese look amazing! I wish one would just appear right now, ahhhh! Yummy!
Marianne says
24th August 2011 at 11:18 pmMmm, crocodiles…I mean, wait, what?!…peanut butter cookies!
Averie @ Love Veggies and Yoga says
24th August 2011 at 7:23 pmThese 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.
Nicole @ Giraffelegs says

Ok so the new company is already failing you??! in the first week??!!!!!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
25th August 2011 at 1:06 amYeah, apparently I need to upgrade. Um, why didn’t they tell me that before? I REALLY just want things to magically work so I can concentrate on the parts of blogging I love!

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.
Anonymous says
24th August 2011 at 11:47 pmOh my GOSH, Katie I just made these and they really are as addictive as you said! Well really I should say “I just made THIS” because it never became “these”. The dough was too good to roll into balls! Yum!!!!

Moni'sMeals says
24th August 2011 at 9:00 pmOh Man, I can already tell I will be doomed with these. I am your biggest peanut butter addict, I have to say. I go through 2 jars a week…I know!
I look forward to trying these out. I will let you know. 😉
Amber says

Amy says
25th August 2011 at 1:30 amOH MY YUMMMMMMMY! I used Dark chocolate Dreams from pb&co. Have you ever tried that stuff? You should try it in these. It tastes like pb fudge brownies! SO SO good!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
25th August 2011 at 1:47 amMmm yes I love that stuff!
Alexa @ Simple Eats says
24th August 2011 at 9:35 pmI can see why these would be so addictive! I love the little cross marks you put on the top, a la classic peanut butter cookies.
