Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough “Truffles”

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough "Truffles" taste so close to actual cookie dough that it's mildly unsettling — in the best way. Medjool dates, peanut butter, oats, and chocolate chips. No baking, no raw eggs, no guilt. These disappear from any fridge they enter.

Peanut butter chocolate chip cookie dough might be the most craveable thing in existence. The only problem with actual raw cookie dough is the raw eggs and uncooked flour situation, which puts a damper on eating it by the spoonful. These truffles solve that entirely. Medjool dates, peanut butter, rolled oats, and chocolate chips processed together until the mixture has a genuine cookie dough consistency, then rolled into balls and chilled.

The flavour is almost alarmingly close to the real thing. If you love the peanut butter chocolate chip combination in any form bars, blondies, or the truffle pops these belong in your fridge permanently.

Why Dates Work Here

Medjool dates are the secret weapon in no-bake desserts. When processed, they break down into a sticky, sweet paste that binds all the other ingredients together without added sugar or syrup. They also contribute a caramel-adjacent sweetness that works perfectly with peanut butter and chocolate it reads as "cookie dough" rather than "fruit and nut ball," which is the whole point.

Use fresh, soft Medjool dates the larger, moister variety. If yours are on the firmer side, soak in warm water for 10 minutes and drain before processing. The difference in texture is significant.

Process the dates and peanut butter first until smooth, then pulse in the oats until the mixture comes together as a dough. Fold in the chocolate chips by hand so they stay whole. Roll into balls with slightly damp hands to prevent sticking, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Ingredients

1/2 cup raw (or dry-roasted) unsalted peanuts

6 large soft Medjool dates, pitted
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 tsp Kosher salt
2 Tbsp grain sweetened chocolate chips, such as Sunspire, coarsely chopped

Directions

In the bowl of a food processor, combine the peanuts and cashews. Process until finely crumbled – mixture will resemble coarsely ground flour. Remove from food processor bowl and set aside.
Place dates, vanilla extract, and salt into the food processor bowl, and blend until a thick paste forms. Add the ground nuts to the date paste and process until the mixture comes together to form a crumbly “dough”. Remove mixture from food processor.
Knead the chopped chocolate chips into the dough by hand, until well-incorporated. Form mixture into a large ball and refrigerate for about 5-10 minutes.
When the dough has chilled for a bit, take it out of the fridge and roll into 10 balls.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
