3 Ingredient No Bake Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
These easy no bake peanut butter flavored cookies are studded with chocolate chips. They don't require any cooking or baking and are just 3 ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup (47 g) pitted and halved medjool dates
- 1/2 cup (128 g) unsweetened natural peanut butter
- 1/4 cup (42 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Soak dates in a bowl of warm water for 10-15 minutes until soft. Remove dates from water (you don't need to pat them dry) and add them to a food processor. Pulse until dates form a smooth paste. You will need to scrape down the sides of your food processor a few times with a spatula to help your food processor mix the dates. Your date paste should pull away from the sides of the food processor and roll up into a ball when done.
- Once dates are ready, add in peanut butter. Pulse until peanut butter is completely incorporated. Make sure to pause and scrape peanut butter from the sides and bottom of the food processor with a spatula to help mix the ingredients completely. When the peanut butter is fully incorporated, it should form a thick cookie dough.
- Stir in chocolate chips until they are evenly mixed in.
- Using a 1.5 tbsp cookie scoop, scoop out dough and place onto the prepared cookie sheet, spacing the dough balls at least 1 inch apart. Press down on the dough balls with the back of a metal spoon or the palm of your hand until they form a thick round disk. Use your fingers or the spoon to smooth the edges of the cookies. The cookies will not change shape so shape them how you want the final outcome to be.
- If desired, press a few more chocolate chips onto the surface of each cookie for appearance. Place cookies in the fridge for about 30 minutes to an hour to let them firm up. The cookies will not change form. Placing them in the fridge just makes them more sturdy to hold. Store uneaten cookies in the fridge.
