Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies-the name is self-explanatory, isn’t it? These cookies perfectly blend salty peanut butter and decadent dark chocolate.
Did you like our Vegan Peanut Butter Cups Recipe? I find them delectable! After eating these cute dessert cups, I realized peanut butter and chocolate go well together. For this reason, I decided to incorporate the two flavors into one cookie. These cookies are soft and chewy; and you get chocolate in every bite.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe?
- Packed with peanut butter: if you are a peanut butter fan, you will love this recipe. What’s a peanut butter cookie which is not loaded with peanut butter?! I have added more than enough to provide perfect peanut flavor.
- Vegan: Making vegan recipes can sometimes be challenging as not every time trial recipe works out. However, I love to experiment and make any favorite recipe of mine into a vegan version.

Important Ingredients Used In The Recipe
- Peanut Butter: Creamy smooth peanut butter is the best version to use. You may use any brand that you prefer.

- Baking powder: since the cookies are thick, it needs softness provided by baking powder.

Chef’s Tips For The Recipe
Cookie size
I have made this cookie thick and chunky. You can reduce the quantity of each ball as per the size you want to make. For example, you can take 40-60g of cookie dough instead of 80g.
Peanut butter
Although I recommend using creamy peanut butter, you can also opt for chunky peanut butter as it will have crushed peanuts.
How To Store Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Store baked cookies in an airtight box in a cool, dry place.
You may store any leftover cookie dough for later use in the freezer by cling-wrapping the dough.
