Reader Note: this recipe for Vegan and Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookies is one of my oldest and easiest recipes and it keeps people coming back for more, and now with new and improved photos too!

I spent the last few days craving biscuits so decided to make my own…unfortunately all the biscuits in my new recipe book Back to Biscuits have egg in them and as I’m still steering clear of that I needed to find a vegan alternative, of course I could have experimented with my own recipes but you have to be in an experimental mood, and I wasn’t!

How I developed the Best Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe

I Googled best vegan cookies and came up with peanut butter cookies. None of the recipes I found catered for me exactly some were very extravagant with millions (I exaggerate) of ingredients, others had items on my ‘no-no’ list so I took a bit of this, added a bit of that and hey-presto, these worked. More cake-like and chewy than biscuit but it quashed my craving all the same. I’ve since discovered that 1-2 minutes extra in the oven and they’re crunchier so you can bake to your taste.

Vegan and Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookies

What I especially like about these biscuits is that it’s one of those recipes where you throw all the ingredients into a bowl and stir, I’m ever so lazy when it comes to washing up, I have this batty idea that if you use a smaller saucepan than necessary it’s less washing up, whilst that maybe true in terms of surface volume…it still equals one saucepan to wash up, I know this, yet I still use the smallest possible option every time….go figure! Actually put me out my misery and comment if you do this too and I’m not barking mad – hahaha.

How can I make different patterns in my cookies?

In the photo’s I have used my new patterned rolling pins to still get the round shape I rolled each ball of dough into a short sausage shape and rolled the pin width-ways to achieve the rounder shape, otherwise you end up with oval shaped cookies.

Other pattern ideas: why not use a frying mesh or slotted spatula, you could press a colander into the dough or even clean bubble wrap. The possibilities are endless, as long as it’s clean and hygienic you could use any textured surface. 

Different Cookie Filling Inspiration

In the cookies I baked on this occasion I added some seedless strawberry jam. My daughter hates jam with ‘bits in it’. I have to say this combination is divine but here are some other ideas you might like to try;

  • other jams and jellies such as blueberry, apricot, raspberry, cherry
  • buttercream, made vegan with dairy free butter and icing sugar beaten together
  • a combination of both ideas above for the ultimate cookie filling
  • Nutella or a dairy free chocolate spread
  • sweetened cream cheese, simply whip a dairy free cream cheese with some icing sugar

    I had a favorite pb cookie recipe but was looking for a new one because the old recipe used added oil, and in my opinion with all the fat in the peanut butter plus the added oil my old favorite cookies contained way too much fat.

      Oh wow! There’s definitely no need for more oil, my goodness! Hope you like these just as much x

    Peanut butter cookies are a firm favourite in my house though I never made them vegan. I like that your recipe doesn’t need too much sugar. The cookies look lovely and must taste yummy too, I am sure of it:)
