Ingredients
The Cookies
- 60 g all-purpose flour
- 15 g oatmeal
- 10 g sugar
- 45 g vegan butter chilled / from the fridge
Peanut Butter Cream
- 100 ml whippable vegan cream e.g. from oatly
- 1 tsp sugar
- 50 g peanut butter smooth or crunchy
- 5 g vegan butter
- a pinch of salt
Topping
- ¼ vegan chocolate bar or dark chocolate chips optional
Instructions
The Cookies
- Pre-heat your oven to 180 degrees Celcius (356 degrees Fahrenheit)
- Mix all of the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl before adding the chilled vegan butter and kneading it into the dry mixture with your hands. Knead until smooth.
- Shape 10 cookies with your hands. You shape a cookie by taking a piece of dough, rolling it into a ball and pressing it down/flattening it with your palms - your cookies should be about 0.5 cm thick. Use your fingers to smooth out the edges as it is a slightly crumbly dough. Place the cookies on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. For a more visual explanation of how to bake and shape these see the recipe video.
- Bake your cookies in the middle of the oven for 15 minutes.
- When done, carefully place the baked cookies on a wire rack and let them cool down in room temperature.
Peanut Butter Cream
- Melt the crunchy peanut butter, and the vegan butter in a small pot on medium heat. And add a pinch of salt. Once melted, set this to the side and let it cool down slightly.
- Add the whippable vegan cream and the sugar to a large bowl and whip with your hand- or stand mixer until creamy and firm. This takes about 3-5 minutes on high speed.
- Add the peanut butter mixture to the bowl with the whipped cream. Use a spatula to fold it in carefully. Only fold it in 4-7 times as to not to stir too much air out of the cream.
Putting it All Together
- Make sure your cookies are no longer warm before decorating them with the peanut butter cream.
- Use a pastry bag with a star tip to decorate your cookies with the peanut butter cream.
- Optional: use a grater to grate and drizzle vegan chocolate over your creamy cookies (see the recipe video), or simply use dark chocolate chips as decoration.
