Notes

  • Tips:
  • Weight Watchers Points:
  • There are 5 Freestyle Points in a serving of Salted Chocolate Vegan Peanut Butter Cookies.
  • Make sure the cookie dough balls are a similar size so that they cook at the same rate.
  • If you want your cookies to brow evenly than turn the tray half way through cooking.
  • Cooking times will vary on how much you flatten the dough. Start with the lowest cooking time and then add a few minutes more according to your taste.
  • Use other flavourings to your taste, example cinnamon extract or other spices.
  • You can swap almond butter or cashew butter instead of peanut butter.
  • Please do let cookies cool on the sheet (transferred to a cooling rack), otherwise they will break if you try and remove them before then.
