Vegan Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Cookies (oil-free)

Hello friends!

I have an amazing new recipe for you all. Not only are these peanut butter cookies, but they are vegan chocolate dipped peanut butter cookies. Seriously life changing.

The cookies are 100% plant-based, soy-free, gluten-free, oil-free and beyond yummy.

The recipe is made with simple yet delicious ingredients but the base of the cookies are made with peanut butter and almond flour.

Add in some coconut sugar for sweetness and you’re golden!

The first step to making the cookies is whisking together the baking soda and the almond flour so they are evenly combined. The other ingredients will go in the food processor and then you can add in the almond flour mixture.

You will process the ingredients until they are combined completely and have formed a soft, moist, cookie dough.

The cookies will bake for 10 minutes. Let them cool for at least 30 minutes before dipping in melted chocolate. Melt your chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second increments until its totally smooth and melted.

Spread chocolate on half the cookie (or if you want to go really wild, you can spread it on the whole thing!).

Place each cookie back on the baking sheet as you dip them, then put the baking sheet in the fridge to allow the chocolate to set.

I promise you that chocolate dipped peanut butter cookies are going to be your new favorite vegan indulgent dessert.

In addition, the best part about them is that they accomodate so many dietary and allergy needs – YES PLEASE! Are you drooling yet?!

Also, I sprinkled sea salt on my chocolate part for the perfect combination of sweet and salty. OMG – my mouth is watering just thinking about these!

Questions:

  1. Do I have to dip them in chocolate or can I leave them plain as just peanut butter cookies? They are just as yummy without the chocolate. You can definitely leave them plain.
  2. I can’t have peanuts, what is an alternative that I can use to the peanut butter? Almond butter, sunflower butter, coconut butter, or tahini!
  3. Is there an alternative that I can use to almond flour? Try oat flour or whole wheat flour.
  4. What kind of chocolate did you use? I used Trader Joe’s vegan chocolate chips for mine but I also recommend Lily’s or Enjoy Life. If you’re getting the Lily’s make sure you’re buying the variety without dairy.
  5. Do these store well? YES! They are best if stored in the fridge in a sealed container.
