Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (natural)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 tsp natural gelling agent
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine the Wet Ingredients: Start by mixing creamy peanut butter, plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract (natural) in a medium bowl. Stir these together until smooth and fully blended. This creates the flavorful, moist base that ties everything together.
  2. Whisk the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together unsweetened cocoa powder (natural), granulated sugar, rolled oats, pinch of salt, and natural gelling agent. Make sure the mixture is evenly combined to ensure balanced flavor in every bite.
  3. Bring It All Together: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring continuously. The mixture will start to thicken as you blend, forming the perfect, chewable cookie dough.
  4. Shape Your Cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop portions of the dough onto parchment paper or a silicone mat. Press down gently to slightly flatten each mound into a cookie shape. Leave some space between each one.
  5. Chill and Set: Place the cookies into the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the natural gelling agent to firm up the texture. Once set, they are ready to enjoy!

Notes

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh peanut butter and cocoa powder (natural) make a noticeable difference in flavor.
  • Measure accurately: Too much liquid can make cookies too soft, so stick closely to the amounts specified.
  • Don’t skip chilling: The rest in the fridge is essential for the natural gelling agent to set the texture nicely.
  • Customize sweetness: Taste the mixture as you go and adjust sugar or syrup levels to suit your preference.
  • Keep oats rolled: Using rolled oats rather than instant gives the best texture and mouthfeel.
