Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Cookies & Milk


There is absolutely no food that I love more than peanut butter. If given the choice I would eat peanut butter for breakfast, for lunch and most definitely for dinner. Not a day goes by where there isn’t at least one jar of natural chunky peanut butter in my fridge.

As such I was quite amazed to discover that I had never posted about peanut butter cookies.  I make these cookies on days when cupcakes just wont do.  They’re a soft, slightly crumbly, melt in your mouth sort of cookie. Perfect for cold windy days like today.

PB Cookie Batter

Ingredients: 
  • ½ cup Vegan Margarine
  • ½ cup Natural Crunchy Peanut Butter
  • ¾ cup of Lightly Packed Brown Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 ¼ cup of flour
  • 2 tbsp Starch (arrowroot, ground flax or cornstarch)
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp of salt
  • 3 to 4 tbsp of Milk
  • ½ cup Vegan Chocolate chips

Dough Balls

Instructions:
  1. Preheat Oven to 350 and place cookie stone in oven
  2. Mix Sugar, margarine and peanut butter in mixer
  3. Add Vanilla and milk
  4. Mix dry ingredients together in separate bowl
  5. Add dry ingredients to wet in two increments
  6. Mix together using spoon until well combined
  7. Add chocolate Chips
  8. Roll dough into small ping-pong sized balls
  9. Bake for 12 to 13 minutes on ceramic stone
  10. Let Cool and Enjoy

These cookies can be made and baked in less than an hour. They are the perfect quick treat to make for yourself or a friend when time is tight.  Special thanks to CPB for lending his Canon 5d for these shots

    I never thought I would like peanut butter cookies but one day I was at my favorite little cafe and they were all out of the lemon bars that I usually go for, so I went with the cookie. . . and ohmygosh was it good!

    So now I'm a total convert! And thank you for this recipe. Even though I'm not a full vegan anymore (more like 80%) I try refrain from eating animal products as much as possible and this looks delish :)

    I have a recently turned began friend, so now I'm constantly on the look out for vegan recipes. I don't know anyone who doesn't like a good peanut butter chocolate cookie, so I'm definitely going to try these! As for my favourite cookie, it's tie between choc chip and Anzac biscuits :)
