ObiSweetest Vegan Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe
These vegan peanut butter cookies are loaded with peanut butter flavor, because let’s be honest, if you’re making peanut butter cookies, they need to taste like actual peanut butter. And the ones from this recipe definitely do. They’ve got that rich, nutty flavor in every single bite.
These cookies aren’t small either. They’re thick, hearty, and hold their shape nicely. You get that golden, slightly crisp edge with a soft middle that has just the right amount of chew. They’re rich, a little crumbly, and just all-around satisfying.
The base is a simple, solid peanut butter cookie dough inspired by my crunchy vegan peanut butter cookie recipe, but with a few tweaks to make them extra soft and full of chocolatey goodness.
If you’ve got some vegan butter, sugar, creamy peanut butter, all-purpose flour, vanilla, salt, baking soda, a bit of non-dairy milk, and some vegan chocolate, then you’ve got everything you need to make these cookies happen.
They’re the kind of treat you’ll want to keep on hand, whether it’s for an afternoon pick-me-up, a sweet snack after dinner, or just because it’s been a long day and cookies sound like a good idea. And the first step to having these vegan peanut butter cookies readily available whenever you want them is learning to make them yourself. That is exactly what the below recipe is meant to help you with.
