This simple no bake cookie, from the cookbook Sweet & Natural, was an instant hit with everyone who tasted it.
1 c raisins, chopped fine (I used food processor)
1 c natural peanut butter
5-6 Tbs dry milk powder
Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Use your hand to mix. You should be able to knead the mixture without it sticking to your hand. You may need to add a little more dry milk powder to get to this point. Form into walnut size balls, place on tray and refrigerate to help them firm up.
That's it! Eat & enjoy!
*The recipe also suggested using oatmeal instead of milk powder as a variation. Next time I would be curious to try using chunky peanut for more crunch...or almond butter...or cashew butter...
Update: 5/11/2012:
Today I wanted to make these cookies but was out of peanut butter. I had bought peanuts to make peanut butter, but instead decided to try a short cut. I threw it all in the food processor-1 c peanuts (dry roasted, unsalted) and 1 c raisins. It didn't get as smooth, but I had wanted to try with crunchy pb anyways...so this gave a great texture. I also rolled a couple in cocoa powder for a chocolate fix. So good! You can probably add a tablespoon or two of cocoa powder to the mix if you want an entire batch of chocolate peanut butter balls. I remembered to take a picture, too :) before my husband and I eat them all!
