I have been making these vegan peanut butter cookies for years and they are a staple in my house. My kids love them and I love that they are made with simple ingredients that I usually have on hand. They are perfect for a quick snack, a lunchbox treat, or even for a holiday cookie swap. These cookies are also dairy free and egg free so they are a great option for anyone with dietary restrictions. They have a nice chewy texture and a rich peanut butter flavor that is hard to resist.
