    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    • Chocolate + peanut: It's the perfect flavor combination. These rich chocolate and peanutty cookies are a great vegan dessert or snack.
    • Easy cleanup: The chewy and crunchy cookies are quick and easy to make and only use 1 bowl.

    Ingredient Notes

    This recipe uses simple ingredients, most of which you probably already have at home.

    • Vegan butter - My favorite is Earth Balance. I use the butter sticks and recommend them if you can find them. The butter sticks are easier to measure and also have a lower water content.
    • Flour - I use all purpose flour in this recipe.
    • Vegan chocolate chips - Any non-dairy chocolate chip brand is fine. I like using Trader Joe's chocolate chips.
    • Roasted and salted peanuts - If you only have unsalted peanuts, you can use them as well. Just increase the amount of salt in the recipe to ½ tsp.
    • Non-dairy milk - I use unsweetened soy milk for the majority of my baking and cooking. If you don't have soy milk, unsweetened almond milk works great too.

    Variations

    • Leave out the peanuts or switch to a different nut like walnuts or pecans.
    • Add in some raisins.

    Instructions

    1. To start, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

    2. Prepare the baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.

    3. If they're not already chopped, use a knife to roughly chop the peanuts. It's fine if some are still whole.

    4. Next, cream the softened vegan butter and the brown sugar in a stand mixer. An electric mixer and a large mixing bowl will work fine too. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl.

    5. Once the butter and sugar are creamed, add in the vanilla extract and the soy milk and beat until combined.

    6. Next, add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Add the regular flour, salt, unsweetened cocoa powder, and baking soda and mix until combined.

    Make sure you mix at a low speed so the flour and cocoa powder don't spill out. The batter will be very thick.

    7. Add the chocolate chips and peanuts and stir with a spoon. As it's a thick crumbly dough, I find it's easier to use your hands to mix and incorporate mix-ins.

    8. Roll the dough into balls about a little more than 1 inch wide. If you want your cookies to be the exact same size, feel free to use a cookie scoop. (I don't bother with one though.)

    9. Place the cookie dough balls on the prepared cookie sheet.

    10. Bake cookies for 10 minutes.

    11. Remove the baking tray from the oven and let rest for 3 minutes before placing on a cooling rack to cool completely.

    Plate and enjoy!

    Storage Tips

    Room Temperature

    Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.

    Freezer

    These cookies can be frozen for up to 3 months. Simply put cooled cookies in a freezer safe bag or container. Thaw overnight in the fridge before use.

    Recipe FAQs

    What's the best way to soften vegan butter?

    The easiest way to soften butter is to leave it out on the counter at room temperature for about 20 minutes. But if you don't have time, you can microwave it for no more than 15 seconds.

    How can I make these cookies flatter?

    If you want a flatter cookie, gently press down on the cookies with the back of a fork when they come out of the oven.

    Do I need to put a flax egg in vegan cookies?

    Nope. I do not like using flax eggs (flaxseed plus water) in my baking as it makes things too dense. These cookies don't need them.

    Can I substitute white sugar for brown sugar?

    Yes. If you have molasses, add 1 tablespoon to the recipe. If not, it should work out without it.

    Can I substitute coconut oil for the vegan butter?

    I don't recommend using any oil including coconut oil. Vegan butter works much better.
