Equipment

  • Oven
  • mixing bowl
  • baking sheets
  • parchment paper
  • hand mixer or stand mixer

Ingredients
  

Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

  • ½ cup vegan butter (room temperature)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons dairy-free milk (plus more as needed)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup smooth peanut butter
  • 1 ⅓ cups all-purpose plain flour (or gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • a pinch salt (or to taste)
  • 1 cup vegan chocolate chips (and/or chocolate chunks)

Instructions
 

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line 2-3 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Add the vegan butter, sugars, dairy-free milk and vanilla to a large bowl (if using a hand mixer) or the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. Beat until light and fluffy and some of the sugar has dissolved. Add the peanut butter and beat until well combined.
  • Add the flour, baking soda and salt and mix until just combined. Add the chocolate chips and stir through. The cookie dough should be very soft and tacky, but not too sticky.
  • Divide and roll the cookie dough into around 18 balls.
  • Arrange the cookie dough balls on your prepared baking sheets with about 5 cm (2 inches) between them. Slightly flatten all of the balls.
  • Bake the cookies in your preheated oven for around 13-16 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden brown.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking trays for at least 20-30 minutes. They’ll be very soft when they’re warm but will firm up.
  • Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely. If desired, sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Notes

Use room temperature vegan butter for best mixing results. Adjust dairy-free milk amount to achieve desired dough consistency. You can use gluten-free all-purpose flour as a substitute.
