Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Dip Cookie Recipe

We all need a go-to peanut butter cookie recipe that we can run to when that sudden & intense urge for peanut butter cookies sets in.

 

Well, we have finally found ours! Of course, it’s 100% vegan and you 100% can’t tell the difference! It’s not too sweet, but still holds that rich peanuty taste we all love .. add chocolate dip (or drizzle)…a crunch of almonds…and a sprinkle of salt to your masterpiece!

Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Dip Cookie Recipe

Looking for a chewy peanut butter cookie? Bake yours until they are just beginning to brown and remove immediately! (10-15 minutes depending on your oven)

 

If you are a crunchy peanut butter cookie fan like us, just keep them in there until they are as golden brown as you like ’em 🙂 We recommend 15-20 minutes.

Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Dip Cookie Recipe

Ingredients:

1 2/3 cup organic all purpose flour

1/2 tsp pink Himalayan salt

1 tsp baking soda

1/3 cup organic virgin coconut oil, solid

2/3 cup organic cane sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/3 cup almond/cashew/hemp/rice milk

3/4 cup crunchy or smooth peanut butter

1/2 cup almond butter

3/4 cup non-dairy chocolate chips

1/4 cup raw almonds

 

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Mix flour, salt & baking soda in a bowl and set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl whisk together solid coconut oil, sugar and vanilla until combined. Add non-dairy milk and peanut butter and continue to whisk.
  4. Slowly add dry mix to wet and mix as you go, until all ingredients are combined.
  5. Form dough into golf ball sizes, flatten the ball in your palm or against the table.
  6. Place on cookie sheet and press into the dough with a fork to make criss-cross impressions. (I added a dollop of peanut butter on top of the cookies I drizzled w/ chocolate – this one is for you peanut butter addicts out there!)
  7. Place on the middle rack and bake until desired crunchiness. Here are some cookie tenderness guidelines. Soft: 10-15 minutes. Crunchy: 15-20 minutes.

Chocolate Dip:

  1. Add chocolate chips to a bowl that will fit on top of a small pot. Fill pot with water and place on high heat.
  2. Place the bowl of chocolate chips over the pot. As it heats the steam will melt the chocolate.
  3. Dip cookie in the chocolate or use a spoon to smear the chocolate on by hand, it easier to handle this way.
  4. Sprinkle with chopped up almonds and a dash of salt!
