Doughy Peanut Butter Cookies (no-bake!)
These cookies taste like how I wish the middles of all peanut butter cookies tasted…doughy!
Like, if there was a way (and I’m sure there is a way) to have this texture of cookie surrounded by a slightly crispy cookie layer, that would be ideal.
Like what if I was to stuff a raw/no-bake cookie (like this cookie) inside a peanut butter cookie dough ball and bake the whole thing. Would the no-bake cookie part bake? Or would it stay doughy? I don’t know! But I want to go there soon. Well. I want to take us all there soon.
For now, I’m a-ohkay eating these doughy peanut butter middles.
These cookies are rather simple.
Dates, oats, milk, peanut butter and salt. You could make these in your sleep. BUT don’t. Because a food processor is involved and those food processor blades are sharp. I know from experience because of that one time I grabbed a ball of cookie dough out of a food processor and in grabbing it I also grabbed the sharp edge of the blade. Oh it was not great.
Right now we’re watching some show called Newlyweds on Bravo. It’s terrible. I know it’s TV, but it’s awful. How can you have so many issues after just getting married? Why am I still watching? Why am I telling you?
Maybe if the couples spent some time making these cookies together, a teamwork exercise of sorts, then they would begin to resolve some of their issues. But that probably wouldn’t fix their marriage problems because these cookies only take 10 minutes to make. SO FAST. So they’re gonna need more time than that to stop the drama.
For now. Make these for snacktime!
Doughy Peanut Butter Cookies (no-bake!)
Yield: makes 9ish cookies
Total Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup natural peanut butter
9 pitted dates
4-8 tablespoons almond milk
pinch salt
Directions:
In a food processor, process together oats, peanut butter, dates and salt. Once crumbly and sand-like in look, add in almond milk one tablespoon at a time until a dough forms. Roll dough into 9 balls and then use a fork to press the dough flat. I find it worked best to dip the fork into hot water before pressing the cookie flat. That way the dough doesn't stick quite at much. Store in the fridge for 3-5 days.
