I am obsessed with peanut butter and can never have enough of it. Give me a simple peanut butter toast every single morning and I won’t complain. That’s the reason, I keep on using peanut butter in a lot of my recipes. If you want to check those recipes, I have shared their links later in this post. Today I am sharing my favorite cookie recipe- Easy peanut butter cookies. They are very easy to make, vegan, and are delicious. These cookies are soft and crumbly so if you prefer crispy cookies then this recipe might not be suitable for you. I prefer soft, chewy cookies so love these. One thing which makes it different from all the other peanut butter cookie recipes is their delicious rich caramel taste which comes from dark brown sugar. It also gives it a nice dark brown color which is different from the color of other peanut butter cookies. Earlier I used to make these cookies with white or light brown sugar. However, one day I was craving peanut butter cookies but had only dark brown sugar in my pantry so I used it. And, once I tasted cookies with dark brown sugar, I never made without it- they are so delicious. If you don’t like the taste of dark brown sugar, use light brown or white granulated sugar.

To make these cookies you need the following basic ingredients, which I am sure will be available in every kitchen almost every time:
How to make?
Recipe tips and tricks
Use a fresh jar of peanut butter. The old jar has less oil content so the cookies may turn very dry.Microwave the peanut butter and sugar for around 30 seconds and then allow the mixture to reach room temperature before adding other ingredients. This will soften the peanut butter which will make mixing the ingredients very easy.You can also add dairy-free chocolate chips to the dough. In that case, you can reduce the amount of sugar otherwise the cookies will become very sweet.To add a crunch you may sprinkle crushed peanuts/ any other nut on top of the cookies before baking.
How to store?
Put these vegan peanut butter cookies in an airtight jar. They will be fine for around 10 days. To freeze, put pieces of a baking sheet between cookies to separate them. Put in a freezer-safe container and store for up to 3 months.
