Irresistibly Fluffy and Delicious!
Vegan peanut butter blossom cookies- what more could you want on Christmas morning? These cookies have always been a fan and personal favorite:). Great to bring to work parties, friends houses, or just share with family during Christmas vacation:). They are super addicting and you can’t even tell they are vegan! I actually used gluten-free flour in mine as well which makes them even more allergy friendly! So let’s take a closer look at these amazing cookies!
A Closer Look…
For as long as I can remember these cookies have been part of every Christmas cookie platter I have ever seen. When I first went vegan I missed them dearly each time the holidays came around. So, I decided this was the year that I had to make them and make them a part of my Christmas cookie plate! Let me tell you…I am SO happy I did, and all my family and friends were too!
Easy and Delish!
The Ingredients
The Flour
I am not gluten intolerant but I do tend to enjoy and often prefer using gluten free flours! They create a light and fluffy texture and sometimes have more nutritional value than all-purpose flour! I love and enjoy using Bob’s Red Mill 1-1 flour. I highly recommend as it is easy to use and you cant even tell that your baked goods are gluten free!
The Sugar
I have begun using coconut sugar in almost all of my baking! It changes the texture and flavor for the better in almost all cases! And It is a little healthier than white sugars. You can replace coconut sugar for light brown sugar in this recipe.
The Chocolates
I used these molds to make my vegan “kisses”. I could not find the traditional Hershey Kiss shaped molds but I actually had more fun with these! They come in a pack of molds with a variety of shapes! They are also really easy to use, I had no problems popping out the chocolates when they were ready:).
For the chocolate I used Lily’s Baking Chocolate Bars which worked great! You can also use Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips! Either chocolate is great and vegan friendly.
The Peanut Butter
I love and ALWAYS use Smucker’s Creamy Peanut Butter for my baking, morning toast, smoothies and more. I highly recommend this peanut butter as it is natural and delicious! You should try to stick with drippy and natural peanut butters like this one for these cookies as it keeps them moist and creates a better texture.
So Festive!
