Finally. A vegan cookie that doesn’t provoke the response, “Oh these taste… healthy…”
It’s my baking downfall. I try to healthify recipes by cutting out the butter and oil, maybe throwing in a spoon of applesauce here and there. My poor roommate and friends have taste-tested their fair share of dry, grainy, low-sugar, crumbly desserts.
But I think it’s time I turned over a new leaf and embraced desserts for what they should be. Enter mini peanut butter chocolate chip coconut oil cookies. Is that a long enough name for ya?
Soft. Sweet. Fluffy. Omgoshhhhsdgkjsd. THIS is what cookies should taste like.
You’re going to want to make these.
Mini Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Coconut Oil Cookies
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
1/4 cup almond/other milk
1/2 cup sucanut (or organic cane sugar)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 flax egg [1 tbsp flax + 3 tbsp water] Alternatively, use 1 egg
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips
First make the flax egg: combine the ground flax and water in a small bowl and let it sit for a few min.
Meanwhile, using a hand mixer, mix the melted coconut oil, peanut butter, and sucanat until fluffy. If you use sucanut the cookie dough will look a bit more brown.
Next add the flax egg, milk, and vanilla extract to the mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Combine the dry ingredients with the wet, and then fold in the chocolate chips. Spoon about 1/2 tsp of dough onto baking sheet for mini cookies.
Bake at 375 degrees for about 10 min or until the bottoms/edges are golden.
YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :)
thanks! i’ve been eyeing your fettuccine with avocado sauce recipe… mmm sounds delish
Longtime lurker but just had to comment. These look amazing!!
Lol. Ugh. Thank you V.
hahahaha this is so very cute and funny :)
I was literally just hoping to find a vegan cookie recipe. (:
haha, good timing!
Impeccable (:
Great shots! These look fantastic! hmmm…something to make on this snowy day?
In the past I’ve substituted coconut oil for shortening while baking with wild success! Will never go back! (Scones and biscuits particularly)
i starred these and im SO excited to make them. i crave real chocolate chip cookies all the time but i cannot (CANNOT!) get on board with the famously popular recipes that use 1 cup of butter and 2 cups of sugar. its just obscene. i also dont need 2 dozen cookies at once.

This look wonderful. I’ll have to try them when veggie hubby and I finish the plan we are on and can have peanut butter again!
Let me know if you try them :) They are delicious I promise!
