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!
