But wait, you don’t like peanut butter? Okay, no worries, use almond butter. Oh no! But what if you’re out of non-dairy milk? Then, no problem because you can substitute water instead. Therefore, no reason not to make these cookies. Now, how easy is that?
But we’re not done yet! Because there are more possibilities for these peanut butter cookies:
Try mixing in chocolate chips, or sandwich a spoonful of jelly or chocolate ganache between two peanut butter cookies! Then how about a frozen peanut butter sandwich cookie filled with non-dairy vanilla ice cream?! Or, you can just go all out with the new Ben & Jerry’s Non-Dairy Phish Food between those perfect peanut butter frozen cookies!
But, how easy is it?
Well, it’s a one-bowl recipe, so no excuses not to jump up and go try out this recipe right now!
