Ingredients
- 3/4 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- A pinch of salt, a pinch more if the peanut butter is unsalted
- Few drops of vanilla extract optional
- 2 to 4 tablespoons of flour of choice, such as coconut flour, oat flour, almond flour for gluten-free, or all purpose flour (see note about raw flour)
For the chocolate coating:
- 1/3 cup vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
- 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil optional
Instructions
- Make the cookie dough: Let the peanut butter sit at room temperature for a while or you can microwave a little bit so that it is soft. Add to a bowl.
- Heat the maple syrup in a microwave or in a sauce pan on stove top until it is hot. Add to the peanut butter. Add flavors such as vanilla or cinnamon etc, then mix really well. It will take a minute or so for the mixture to become nice and smooth.
- Then add the salt and flour, I usually add 2 tablespoons of flour and then add more 1 tablespoon at a time. Mix in the flour and let the mixture sit in for 5-10 minutes so that the mixture cools a little bit and the peanut butter has the time to start solidify a little and the flour gets time to get absorbed in the wet mixture.
- If still very sticky, Add 1 more tablespoon of flour to mix in and see if you need more. You want it to be a soft slightly sticky cookie dough and not stiff.
- Put the bowl in the refrigerator to chill for 20 to 25 minutes.
- In the meantime, melt your chocolate. Either on a double boiler on stove or in the microwave. Add the chocolate and the coconut oil to a bowl then microwave in 30-second intervals. Check every internal and as soon as the chocolate starts to melt, whisk it until all chocolate has melted and is smooth. Set aside.
- Get the cookie dough bowl from the fridge. Using a scoop or a spoon, divide the dough into equal portions and roll it out into balls
- Press these balls on parchment paper or a plate using a fork and set aside.
- Then dip each of these cookies into melted chocolate. You can dip half, or full or drizzle over the cookies. You can also add some crushed peanuts on top for some crunchy texture.
- Then chill these cookies again for 20 minutes until the chocolate sets and serve. Store refrigerated for upto 5 days.
Notes
- Storage: These cookies will last in the fridge for a week. Freeze for upto a month.
- Use almond butter to make it peanut free and sunflower seed butter for Nutfree.
- Add cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice to make them taste extra cozy.
- For some crunch, you can also add some crushed peanuts on top of the dipped chocolate for some crunchy texture.
- All purpose flour: Toast the flour before using. in a skillet over low-medium heat, lightly toast for 5-7 mins. In the oven at 350°F for about 5-6 mins. This won’t change the flavor but heat up the flour to kill any bacteria if any.
- Raw flours such as almond flour are safe as they are just blended up almonds. Same with oat flour. Or you can make at home by blending up oats or almonds.For all purpose flour I mention above to toast it in the oven or on skillet before using.
