Recipe Intro From myportuguesemother

Brown butter + peanut butter + chocolate = match made in heaven. Made in just 1 bowl, these crispy-edged, gooey-centered vegan cookies are nutty, salty and sweet.  If you’re feeling adventurous, swap an equal amount of tahini for the peanut butter!

ingredients

  • 1/2 cup vegan butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat to 350°. Over medium heat, cook the vegan butter, swirling often, until butter foams, about 3-4 minutes. Allow it to cool for 1 minute, then transfer to a large heatproof bowl.

  • Step 2

    Add both sugars and whisk. Add in the milk and peanut butter and whisk again until incorporated and no lumps remain.

  • Step 3

    Switch to a rubber spatula, and fold in all the dry ingredients. Lastly, fold in the chocolate chips. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill it for 30 minutes.

  • Step 4

    After 30 minutes, use a 3-tablespoon size cookie scoop to portion the dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes (it is important not to over-bake these cookies). Halfway through baking, or when the cookies have puffed, bang the tray to create a delicious crinkle effect. Remove from oven once cookies have firm edges but are still slightly underdone in the center. Carefully transfer cookies to a cooling rack until set, about 3-5 minutes.
