Ingredients
Scale
- 8 Tbsp. non dairy butter, room temperature
- 2 Tbsp. aquafaba (brine from a can of chickpeas)
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 c. Cara’s All-Purpose GF flour mix
- 1/3 c. sugar
- 1/4 c. powdered sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
For the peanut butter filling:
- 1/2 c. peanut butter
- 6–8 Tbsp. non-hydrogenated shortening
- 1 c. powder sugar
For the Chocolate coating:
- 2 c. non dairy chocolate chips, melted
- 1 Tbsp. coconut oil (or shortening)
Instructions
- Cream the non dairy butter and sugars with an electric mixer on medium speed for no more than 1 minute. Add aquafaba and vanilla and mix until well combined.
- Add the flour and salt and stir with a wooden spoon until a nice dough forms. Dough should not be sticky; if so, add 1 tablespoon of flour at a time until soft still, not sticky.
- Transfer half of the dough onto a piece of parchment paper. With your hands, roll dough into a log that is approximately 6″x2″. Smooth with hands. Wrap a piece of clear wrap around the dough and chill for 2+ hours. Repeat with the other half of the dough.
- Once dough is chilled long enough, preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll the dough out of the plastic wrap and slice cookies with a sharp knife at 1/4-1/2″ thick slices.
- Place half of the cookies on the baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned along the edges.
- Allow to cool fully on the baking sheet. The cookies will become crunchier the longer they sit.
- With the electric mixer, fluff up the ingredients for the peanut butter filling.
To assemble the cookie:
- Place approx 1 Tbsp. of peanut butter onto a fully cooled cookie. Make a small mountain-like hump.
- Freeze the cookies for 10-15 minutes just so it doesn’t melt into the chocolate. Remove from freezer and allow cookies to sit and breathe for a couple of minutes.
- Dip into the melted chocolate with oil or shortening. Place on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper and allow to set in the freezer for another 5 minutes.
