Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Cookies


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.

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.

Question of the Day: Hmmm I can’t think of one. I’m too busy dreaming about how addictive these peanut butter cookies are!

    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!

  4. Dan says:

    Can I use a blender instead of a food processor?

  5. Naomi says:

    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!

    1. Chocolate Covered Katie says:

      I haven’t tried them. I’ll look for them, though 🙂

  6. El Kushmir Bey says:

    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.

  7. Erin says:

    Coud you the nutrition break down on these?

    1. Chocolate Covered Katie says:

      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!

  8. Makayla says:

    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)

    1. Unofficial CCK Helper says:

      Yes you can use natural.

  9. Amanda says:

    Have you tried these with natural peanut butter?

    1. Unofficial CCK Helper says:

      It works!

  10. raw mama says:

    Wow! I just made these with almond butter, dates and raw almonds and cashews instead of peanuts….so amazing. One thing I had to do after following above recipe steps is add an extra 2 tablespoons of almond butter (processer wasnt moving) and then I made an almond, cashew meal by food processing 1/4 cup almonds and 2 tablespoons of raw cashews (I was trying to use what I had) I added this nut mix meal at the end and mixed it into the dough with my hands. I made them into cookies and they were sooooo GOOD!

  11. judy says:

    just found your website. Have 2 sons who are weight lifters but they still love sweets.
    Trying to make healthier recipes…Your peanut butter cookie dough cookies does not show the temp to cook at or the time….Help!
    THANKS for the great recipes.

    1. Adam says:

      It is a no bake recipe.

  12. Morgan says:

    Can I bake these in the oven!? Yummy raw too though!

    1. Chocolate Covered Katie says:

      Sorry, I’ve never actually tried so I don’t know.

  13. Beth says:

    I just discovered these, and they are fantastic! I make them into little bite-sized treats and keep them in the freezer. Awesome!

  14. Mrs. D. says:

    Oh my goodness!! I discover something new, yummy, and wonderful almost every day on your website! Where was I before last month?? NOT on CCK. How sad! Loved these. It’s probably a good thing my husband got off early because there may not have been any left by the time he got here! Then again, it meant I had to share…

  15. Molly says:

    how many does this recipe make?

  16. Lily says:

    Hi, Katie! Do you think these would be good if I substituted the raisins for date, pb for cashew butter, and cashews for peanuts? I’m making homemade “Clif bars” for my brother for Christmas, and I was hoping to use stuff he can’t buy from that company. Would that work?
