Healthy Peanut Butter Cookies
These healthy peanut butter cookies are easy to make with just 4 ingredients and no sugar added. They are naturally sweetened with dates!
Servings: 20 cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (120g)
- 1/2 cup roasted peanuts with salt (64g)
- 1 cup pitted dates (160g)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- 1. To make the healthy peanut butter cookies, process the peanut butter, peanuts, dates, salt, and optional pure vanilla extract in a high quality food processor until crumbly and slightly sticky. (For best results, I do not recommend using a blender, because the texture becomes too sticky and the machine may overheat.)
- 2. If adding chocolate chips, you may include them now or after blending.
- 3. Press the no bake peanut butter cookie dough into one large ball. Then break off smaller pieces of dough and press into cookie shapes. I like to flatten each cookie with a fork, creating classic peanut butter cookie lines.
- 4. Store leftover cookies in a covered container on the counter for up to a week, or in the refrigerator for up to four months. These pb cookies also taste delicious straight from the freezer.
