Ingredients
- ½ cup dairy-free butter, softened (i.e. Country Crock Plant Butter sticks)
- ½ cup peanut butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup dairy-free chocolate chips
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
In the bowl of a stand mixer (or using a hand mixer with a large mixing bowl), mix together the dairy-free butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract.
-
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until well combined.
-
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and stir until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
-
Use a 1 ½ tablespoon cookie scoop (or a heaping spoonful) to portion out the dough onto the parchment-lined baking sheets. Use the back of a fork to flatten into cookie shapes.
-
Bake in the center rack of the oven at 350 degrees F for 10-11 minutes, or until the cookies are cooked through and no longer look moist on top. Let cool on the pan, then enjoy!
Recipe Notes
- Stick-based dairy-free butters are best for this recipe - i.e. Country Crock plant butter sticks or Earth Balance sticks. Tub-based butters can contain excess moisture that can throw off the proportions in the cookies.
- I recommend conventional peanut butter for this recipe (i.e. Skippy, Jif, etc) rather than natural peanut butter. Conventional peanut butter has a thicker texture that works best for this cookie dough.
- Feel free to add more chocolate chips if you'd like!
