If you love the combination of chocolate and peanut butter, I promise you will adore these cookies. These Healthy Peanut Butter Patties taste just like the Girl Scout cookies but are made guilt-free with clean ingredients.

Truthfully, once I developed this recipe, I could not stop making it! I found myself making these cookies almost every day because they are just that good.

I am so excited to also be able to share this video tutorial on how to make my Healthy and Vegan Peanut Butter Patties with all of you! These cookies are such an easy treat to make and you would never know they’re made with 100% wholesome ingredients. Check out the video below for a one-minute tutorial.

Recipe Breakdown

There are three simple parts that make up these amazing cookies: the cookie base, the peanut butter center, and the chocolate coating.

Shortbread Cookies

The cookie base is made up of oat flour, almond milk, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla, salt, and baking soda. All you have to do is combine all of these ingredients in a bowl and stir by hand. Then roll each cookie into a ball, line them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and gently flatten each one with a flat surface (like the bottom of a glass or your hand). They can easily be made gluten-free if you buy gluten-free oats, and if you can make oat flour at home by blending oats in your blender or food processor until a flour consistency is reached.

Peanut Butter Filling

Once the cookies have baked and allowed to cool slightly, you can spread peanut butter onto the top of each one and then place in the freezer to set.

Chocolate Coating

While the cookies are in the freezer, make the chocolate coating by combining cocoa powder, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup in a small bowl. Now you can dip each cookie in the chocolate coating and place back in the fridge or freezer to set completely.

Once the chocolate coating has hardened you can remove from the freezer and enjoy! They are that simple. I promise these cookies will taste like you spent hours making them, but they could not be any easier to make. In fact, they may be almost too easy to make.

If you’re the type of person who’d rather eat spoonfuls of cookie dough than eat an actual cookie, then you will LOVE this recipe. There is something so nostalgic and magical about devouring cookie dough by the spoonful, and this recipe gives you the power to indulge completely guilt-free!

I adapted this Edible Cookie Dough recipe from my Flourless Peanut Butter Chickpea Blondie recipe because I constantly found myself devouring half of the blondie batter before the blondies would make it into the oven. This quick and easy recipe makes the perfect healthy treat when you are looking for something to satisfy your sweet tooth. Once you try this Edible Cookie Dough, you will understand why I make this recipe multiple times a week!

Recipe Breakdown

This healthy cookie dough calls for six simple ingredients and only requires two simple steps.

All you have to do is process chickpeas, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt in your food processor until you have a completely smooth texture with no lumps remaining. You may have to stop and redistribute the dough throughout your food processor at times and process for a few minutes, but I promise the end result will be the perfect texture.

Once you have smooth cookie dough, all you have to do is add your desired amount of chocolate chips and stir them in by hand. If you want a sweeter dough or more peanut butter flavor, feel free to add more maple syrup or peanut butter. This recipe is extremely flexible and versatile so feel free to let your creativity run wild!

Now grab your spoon and enjoy amazing cookie dough that is guilt free and completely safe to eat!
