Chocolate Covered Raisin Peanut Butter Cookies

These Chocolate Covered Raisin Peanut Butter Cookies may be one of the fastest, easiest and most decadent cookies I have ever made. Just don't let their simplicity fool you. There is something magical that happens to these ingredients in the oven. I have converted many non raisin lovers and non peanut butter lovers to this recipe. PLUS, you do NOT NEED FLOUR!

So where did this recipe come from? Well a few years ago, as I was in the midst of making cookies I found that someone in my household had absconded with the chocolate chips. Regardless of my toe tapping, no one owned up to this theft. Luckily I had a "secret stash" left over from Hallowe'en, which I immediately raided in order to complete my recipe.

With a few tweeks since then, I have perfected this recipe and I am proud to share it with all of you.

This recipe makes about 40 small cookies. Enjoy!

Step 1: Ingredients

2 cups Chunky Peanut Butter (The kind with the peanut pieces in it)
1 cup White Sugar
2 eggs
1 cup Chocolate Covered Raisins

Tools You Will Need:

Oven
Fridge (To keep dough cool between batches)
Cookie sheet (Use 2 if you have them available)
Mixing Bowl
Measuring Cup
Spatula or Mixing Spoon
Table spoon to portion out the dough
Oven Mitt
Wire Rack * (For cooling)

* If you don't have a wire rack, you could use the wire shelf from your toaster oven, or you could simply place the cookies to cool onto a plate covered with some paper towel.

Thanks. They are very good. I might make more as I finally got myself a smaller table-top oven to cook stuff in (its like an oversized toaster oven). Best thing ever.

I hear you about Toaster Ovens.  That's my only baking appliance in Baja... and that's where it is right now!

Have you seen this yet?

No, darn it. I missed another good one. But I just checked it out now. I wouldn't have thought about half those appliances being used outside. Awesome idea.

[sunshiine]

You are welcome. I am hungry and thought I would take another peek at these.

There I go again. Looking at food first thing in the morning......you girls are killing me.

[sunshiine]

I am thinking of one that you can't resist. It may surprise you once I figure it out. It will be egg related LOL.

[canucksgirl]

Can't wait!

[canucksgirl]

You only need 4 ingredients and you can have a batch of your own. They are super fast and easy to make. Plus they taste even better than they look!

[onrust]

Man those look killer. Your photos are great.

[canucksgirl]

Thank you. They were very good, but didn't last long around here... VERY popular cookies.

Does that's peanut butter say crunchy........in French? Now that's interesting.

[canucksgirl]

That it does. In Canada we have to "respect the other official language" which happens to be French. As a result, ALL our packaging must include both English text as well as French.

Only four ingredients! amazing.

[Penolopy Bulnick]

It is crazy how few ingredients you need! Awesome recipe!

[canucksgirl]

Thanks :D - I know when you first look at the ingredient list, you'd think something is a miss, but that's all you need! They have turned out great every time I've made them, but they never last long. They get eaten pretty quickly around here.
