TIPS
- Use creamy, unsweetened peanut butter for the best texture and flavor.
- For a chewier texture, use brown sugar instead of white sugar.
- Make sure your baking powder are fresh to ensure that the cookies rise properly.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
- Don’t overbake the cookies – they should be just set around the edges and still slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven.
- If you want to make the cookies even more peanut buttery, you can add some chopped peanuts to the dough.
- Feel free to experiment with different mix-ins, like chocolate chips or dried fruit, to customize the cookies to your liking.
SERVING OPTIONS
- With a glass of plant-based milk: Peanut butter cookies pair perfectly with a cold glass of plant-based milk, such as almond, soy, rice, or oat milk.
- With vegan ice cream: Sandwich two vegan peanut butter cookies around a scoop of vegan ice cream to make a delicious ice cream sandwich. Try Nice Cream, Ice Cream.
- With vegan frosting: Frost the cookies with a vegan buttercream frosting made with dairy-free butter and powdered sugar.
- With fruit: Serve the cookies with fresh fruit, such as sliced bananas, strawberries, or raspberries.
- With chocolate chips: Mix in some vegan chocolate chips into the cookie dough or sprinkle some on top of the cookies for a sweet twist.
- With a peanut butter drizzle: Melt some peanut butter in the microwave and drizzle it over the cookies for an extra peanut buttery flavor.
- With a hot beverage: Serve the cookies with a hot beverage for a delicious and comforting snack.
- As a gift: Pack the cookies in a cute container and give them as a thoughtful and delicious homemade gift to friends and family.
