Peanut butter cookies are the ones I make most at home, simply because it’s quick, easy and delicious, and my spouse loves it too. These vegan peanut butter cookies are also very quick and easy, gluten free and absolutely delicious. They are packed with dark chocolate chips and shredded coconut, which both make the cookies fragrant and yummy.
If you like peanut butter, you’re going to LOVE these vegan peanut butter cookies. You will only need one bowl and a spatula to make them, and it can also be a fun activity to do with kids on a free afternoon.
