What did you do the day after Thanksgiving? Most people either rested from the hectic day of cleaning and cooking and cleaning again or go shopping. What did I do, well, I baked…Yes I cooked last night but its cold today and my other half and I are home, so I thought I would bake something. My partner is vegan and off today so I thought I would make vegan peanut butter, chocolate chip & pecan cookies and they were a hit. These cookies are crunchy, peanutty, and chocolaty and the pecans added the right amount of additional flavor to these country cookies. Even though I’m a bit tired today, I find myself in the kitchen creating new recipes; it relaxes me and puts me in a different element. Plus I don’t have to hear, do we have something sweet besides pumpkin pie? Sometimes I’m a slave to the stomach!

Ingredients
- 2 tbsp flax-seed meal
- 1/3 cup plus 3 tbsp water
- 2 tbsp vanilla
- 1 cup vegan butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups creamy or crunchy peanut butter
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp tapioca flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt
- 11.5 oz vegan dark chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups toasted pecans, chopped
Instructions
-
In a small bowl whisk the flax-seed meal and water, let rest for 10 minutes
-
In a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer or a bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the vanilla, vegan butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar and peanut butter until well combined and creamy. Add the flax-seed mixture and mix in
-
In another bowl whisk together the flour, tapioca flower, baking soda and salt and add to the wet ingredients slowly mixing until it all comes together, dough will be stiff and a bit crumbly
-
Mix in the chocolate chips and pecans, pat down and cover, let sit in the fridge for 30 minutes, I find that chilled cookie dough bakes so much nicer and doesn't spread out as much
-
Preheat oven to 375 F
-
Form the dough into balls from a rounded tablespoon or a cookie scoop onto parchment lined sheet pans, I got 40 cookies, so depending on how big you make them, you could come up with a few less or a few more…
-
Bake in oven for 15 to 18 minutes, mine came out exactly at 18 minutes in a convection oven
-
Let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before placing them on a platter or cooling rack
I have fond memories of looking forward to my daily entertainment of watching the cookie monster on Sesame St. as a child…his first appearance was in 1966, the year I was born! Make sure to eat your delicious cookies with as much enthusiasm, I think they taste better that way…
