Peanut Butter Vegan Cookies

Peanut Butter Vegan Cookies are sweet, easy, crunchy, and delicious. This classic is turned up a notch with chocolate chips too.

I do believe this is a very simple Peanut Butter Vegan Cookies recipe. Just combine, roll, smash, and bake. They are peanut buttery, sweet, crunchy, and delicious.

There are eve a few chocolate chips mixed throughout. This classic has been turned up a notch.

My husband has become cookie obsessed. He wants me to keep them in stock at all times. Now, he is actually a very healthy eater and in great shape which brings me to the fact that he does not eat the cookies. Maybe four or six out of 3 or 4 dozen. The rascal.

I really don't mind because they are so easy to make and I give a lot away which makes the neighbors very happy. It challenges me to think up new recipes.

And most cookies freeze really well including these so making and baking cookies is a win-win.

Since vegans are egg-free the eggs that I mostly use are ground chia seed eggs and flaxseed meal eggs. They are substitutes and all it takes is a little additional water.

Nowadays you can find chia seed already ground in little packets but you can also grind them at home in a dedicated coffee bean grinder.

Let me tell you how easy it is to make a flaxseed meal egg. Chia seeds have an identical process.

💭 How to make a flaxseed meal egg

• Flaxseed meal comes in smaller bags and it seems to keep in the refrigerator forever.
• Just measure out a tablespoon of flaxseed meal into a small bowl.
• Add three tablespoons of water and mix. Let it sit a couple of minutes while you are doing something else and it will gel and get thicker.
• So … one egg equals 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal and 3 tablespoons water.

🥘 Ingredients

• Dairy-free butter adds the buttery creaminess needed for the dough.
• Coconut sugar adds a different type of sweet flavor that is reminescent of maple sugar or brown sugar.
• Creamy peanut butter adds moisture to the mix and a wonderful nut butter flavor.
• Flaxseed meal is full of protein and it helps to lighten the texture of the cookie dough.
• Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients to the main base of these cookies.
• Baking Powder is a leavening agent.
• Semi-Sweet Chocolate adds a mild crunch and a more sweetened chocolate flavor.

🔪 Instructions

• Mix the flaxseed meal together with the water and set aside so it can gel.
• In a large bowl - cream the butter and sugar together. It takes about 5 minutes to get it light and fluffy.

• Add all of the remaining ingredients and mix well.

• Refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Make 1" balls and lay on an ungreased baking sheet.

• Flatten the balls with the bottom of a very sturdy glass. This leaves little cracks in the sides of the cookies. They are rustic and homemade looking while still tasting delicious.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
• Take out of the oven and remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
• All done and delicious.
