Soft Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies

I was thinking, how will I make chocolate chip cookies without "butter"! Well I've tasted vegan butter and it's just as good in my opinion. Also, peanut butter cookies are good too so I added peanut butter to make it even better. Honestly, I've wanted to try a few different ingredients in this recipe. Instead of white sugar, I used cane sugar in this chocolate chip cookie recipe.

Egg, peanut butter, vegan butter spread, dark chocolate chips with honey & vanilla extract and cane sugar.

Press down on the cookies then into the oven they go!

Soft Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

1 cup cane sugar

½ cup vegan butter spread

½ tsp vanilla extract

1 tbsp milk powder

1 large egg

½ cup peanut butter (creamy or natural)

1½ + 1/8 cups self-rising flour

½ cup dark chocolate chips

1½ tbsp honey

Steps:

Step 1: Prepare the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together self-rising flour and milk powder. This ensures even distribution of ingredients for a perfect cookie texture.

Step 3: Cream Butter & Sugar

In a separate large bowl, beat the vegan butter spread and cane sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 4: Add Wet Ingredients

Mix in the egg, peanut butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. The peanut butter adds richness, while the vanilla enhances the flavor.

Step 5: Combine Wet & Dry Mixtures

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a thick cookie dough forms.

Step 6: Flavor the Chocolate Chips

Drizzle the honey onto the dark chocolate chips, then gently fold them into the cookie dough.

Step 7: Scoop & Shape

Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop evenly sized dough portions onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave about 2 inches between each cookie.

Step 8: Bake the Cookies

Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown while the centers remain slightly soft.

Step 9: Cool & Enjoy

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy them warm for an extra gooey chocolate experience!
