Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 24 vegan chocolate kisses
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly using a hand mixer or stand mixer until the ingredients are smooth and well incorporated.
- Gradually add the almond milk to the mixture, stirring continuously to create a consistent batter. The liquid will help bind the ingredients and create a soft cookie texture.
- Sprinkle the baking soda over the mixture and fold in gently, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough into 24 equal-sized balls. Place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the tops appear set.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately press a vegan chocolate kiss into the center of each warm cookie. The residual heat will help the chocolate slightly melt and adhere to the cookie.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. The chocolate kiss will firm up as the cookies cool.
- Once fully cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use Natural Peanut Butter: For the best flavor and texture, opt for natural peanut butter without added sugars or oils. It will give your cookies a rich, authentic taste.
- Chill the Dough: If you have time, chilling the dough for about 30 minutes before baking can help the cookies maintain their shape and enhance their flavor.
- Check Baking Time: Keep a close eye on your cookies as they bake. Ovens vary, and you want to remove them when the edges are lightly golden to avoid overbaking.
- Press the Kisses Gently: When adding the vegan chocolate kisses, press them gently into the center of each cookie. This ensures they stick well while still allowing them to melt slightly.
- Storage Tips: To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing them for up to a month!
