Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 24 cookies

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup natural peanut butter
  2. 1/2 cup brown sugar
  3. 1/4 cup maple syrup
  4. 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  5. 1 tsp vanilla extract
  6. 1/2 tsp baking soda
  7. 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the natural peanut butter, brown sugar, and maple syrup. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated and smooth.
  3. Add the cocoa powder, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt to the mixture. Stir until a consistent dough forms, ensuring all dry ingredients are fully integrated.
  4. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion the dough into small balls, approximately 1-inch in diameter. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
  5. Gently press down on each cookie ball with a fork, creating a classic crisscross pattern and slightly flattening the cookies.
  6. Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. The cookies will appear slightly soft but will firm up as they cool.
  7. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes to set their structure.
  8. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. They will become crispier as they reach room temperature.
  9. Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Tips

  1. Use natural, unsweetened peanut butter for the best flavor and texture. Avoid processed varieties with added oils or sugars.
  2. Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature for easier mixing and more consistent dough.
  3. Don't overmix the dough, as this can make the cookies tough. Mix just until ingredients are combined.
  4. For uniform cookies, use a cookie scoop or weigh each dough ball to ensure consistent sizing.
  5. Allow cookies to cool completely on the wire rack to achieve the perfect crispy-yet-chewy texture.
  6. Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent them from becoming too dry.
  7. For extra indulgence, try sprinkling some sea salt on top before baking for a gourmet touch!
