directions

  • Preheat oven to 375F degrees. Coat cookie sheets with cooking spray or line them with parchment paper.
  • Place peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave on high power for about 30-45 seconds, or until the peanut butter is melted, stirring once or twice as it heats.
  • In large bowl add flour, baking soda, and salt. Add peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla and stir until blended. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, allowing about 2 tbsp for each cookie. Flatten slightly.
  • Bake 15-17 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool for about 5 minutes on the cookie sheet. Transfer to a wire rack and allow them to cool completely.

  1. Outstanding! Made it as stated, except for the microwave part. I don't use the microwave. When you use natural peanut butter there is no need to heat it up.
     
  2. Love these! Needed to make something for a brunch in a hurry so used creamy almond butter which was what I had on hand. I used 1/2 cup less than the recipe called for, but added some soy milk and a good splash of canola oil to get the proportions right...also combo of agave nectar and cane sugar.

  3. Excellent. Great tasting and easy to make. I added about 1/2 cup extra flour because the dough seemed really moist (I used light spelt flour -- that may have made the difference).
     
  4. These are DELICIOUS. I was impressed with the taste and texture with so few ingredients, and no refined sugars, to boot! I halved the recipe but still ended up with 20 pretty large cookies - they spread out more than I had expected and would probably make 24 or even 30 smaller ones with the same amount of batter next time. I also found that folding the chocolate chips in immediately caused them to start to melt into the batter because of the warmth of the melter peanut butter, though I had to heat my PB on the stove (no microwave), which may have made it warmer. Will definitely make again!
     
  5. Awesome cookies! I only used a cup of chocolate chips and they turned out fabulous. I will definitely be making these again! :-)

  1. A keeper, for sure. As I'm not a vegan & maple syrup is so expensive, I substituted the syrup with 1 c. brown sugar, 1 egg, and 1/3 c. oil.
