Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 c nondairy shortening or soft coconut oil
1/3 c peanut butter
1/3 c brown sugar
1/4 tsp baking powder
1-1/2 Tbsp coconut milk or almond milk
3/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
3/4 c all-purpose flour
1/4 c sea salt
2 Tbsp raw cane sugar or crystallized honey
18 nondairy chocolate pieces

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • 2. Beat nondairy shortening and peanut butter in a large bowl, and add ⅓ cup sugar and beat until creamy.
  • 3. Add nondairy milk and vanilla, beating well.
  • 4. In a separate bowl sift together flour, baking soda and salt and then beat the dry mixture slowly into the peanut butter mixture. Add an additional 2 tablespoons of flour if dough is too sticky.
  • 5. Shape dough into 1 to 2" balls, then roll in raw sugar or crystallized honey. Place the cookies a few inches apart on parchment-lined or nonstick cookie sheet.
  • 6. Bake 7-10 minutes or until very lightly browned.
  • 7. Immediately press a chocolate button or vegan candy into the center of each cookie. Let the cookies cool for a couple of minutes on a wire rack, then remove the cookies from the cookie sheet and enjoy.
