I crave salty snacks more then I do sweets; but for some reason, I felt a little hungry for a cookie. I had some dark chocolate chips so I decided to try chocolate chip peanut butter cookies. When eating on a whole food plant-based diet there are still options for sweet treats. The best flours to use are almond or coconut flour; or even whole wheat flour.
The cookies did fall apart easily if not left to cool long enough and are super peanut buttery but I think you will still enjoy them. If you aren’t a peanut butter lover, I wouldn’t suggest trying these. You could probably use the same recipe but substitute almond or cashew butter for the peanut butter.
