There are few combos that DON'T work beautifully with our Crunchy Peanut Butter, so we thought, hey, let's try everything but the kitchen sink! This vegan cookie base (mix-ins can also be vegan, if that's your jam!) is so versatile and swirled with the roasty, toasty flavor of Crunchy Peanut to create a truly crowd-pleasing cookie.
We chose some of our favorite pantry treats—Tony's Chocolonely White Chocolate, sea salt potato chips, Griff's Coffee Toffee, and chocolate chips—for mix-ins to create a sweet-salty flavor profile, but the options are endless, from dried fruit to chopped candies, so get creative!
INGREDIENTS
- 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup (1.5 sticks) vegan butter (room temperature)
- 1/3 cup Big Spoon Roasters Crunchy Peanut Butter
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups mix-ins of your choosing
- For flax egg: 1/4 cup water, 1 tsp coconut oil, 2 Tbsp ground flaxseed
PREPARATION
- In a small bowl, make your flax egg by combining 1/4 cup water, 1 tsp melted coconut oil, and 2 Tbsp ground flaxseed. Mix and let sit for 10 minutes or until congealed.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until combined to remove any clumps.
- In a large bowl, combine vegan butter, Crunchy Peanut Butter, and granulated and brown sugar. Mix with a hand mixer on low speed until light and fluffy, about two minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the flax egg and vanilla and mix until combined.
- Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed just until no streaks of flour remain.
- Fold in mix-ins of your choosing, cover, and refrigerate dough for at least 30 minutes and up to overnight.
- When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- On a parchment-lined baking sheet, place 2 Tbsp balls of dough a few inches apart and bake for 11-14 minutes, or until golden on the edges and slightly gooey in the center.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let cool for at least 30 minutes.
