Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 cup organic cane sugar
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup + 3 Tbsp of unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp smooth peanut butter
  • 1 2/3 cups of organic unbleached flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips (I like Enjoy Life)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 360°F.
  2. Mix the sugar and the milk together in a large bowl until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add the peanut butter and stir it in using a spatula until well the mixture is well combined.
  3. Sift the flour and the baking soda into the bowl and mix it in using a spatula. Be sure not to over-mix the or it will activate and give you gummy cookies.
  4. Fold the chocolate chips into the batter until they are evenly mixed.
  5. Scoop one heaping tablespoon onto a non-stick baking sheet and leave a little space between the cookie dough balls, as the cookies will spread and rise while baking.
  6. Bake the cookies for 14-16 minutes, depending on the level of crunchiness that you desire.
  7. If you are using gluten-free flour and whole wheat flour, bake the cookies for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  8. Remove the cookies from the oven and transfer them to cooling racks for 5-10 minutes.
  9. Enjoy!

Notes

Any non-dairy milk will work for this recipe.

The peanut butter can be substituted for any other nut butter but it needs to be a similar consistency to peanut butter. 

Don’t over-mix the vegan cookie dough because it will activate the gluten and give your gummy cookies. That being said, do not use an electric mixer with this recipe.

If using a gluten-free flour add 5-6 minutes to the baking time.

For crunchier cookies use less milk. If you want softer cookies add a little more milk.
