Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

Step 2

Add the vegan butter and brown sugar to the bowl of your stand mixer and cream them together until smooth.

Step 3

Add the peanut butter and vanilla extract and mix in.

Step 4

Now add the all purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt and mix in with a spoon into a thick cookie dough.

Step 5

Add the soy milk and mix in.

Step 6

Break off pieces of the dough and roll them into balls. Place them evenly on a parchment lined baking tray. Flatten slightly with a fork.

Step 7

Bake for 12 minutes. Allow them to cool and firm up directly on the tray.

Step 8

When the cookies are completely cool, add the vegan chocolate or chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, bringing it out to stir every 30-seconds until melted and smooth.

Step 9

Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cookies with a teaspoon and sprinkle the crushed peanuts on top.
