Super easy Peanut Butter and Chocolate Cookies, made with only 5 wholesome ingredients. Soooo chocolatey, decadent, chewy and delicious and no refine sugar in sight!
All you need to make these Peanut Butter and Chocolate Cookies are 6 pantry ingredients:
- Flax egg, easy to make by mixing 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal with 3 tablespoon hot water. Let it sit for a few minutes to thicken up and then use it in the recipe.
- Dates, Medjool dates or normal dates can be used here. Medjool dates have a softer texture and more of a caramel flavor. But they can also be expensive.
- Natural peanut butter, unsweetened and unsalted
- Unsweetened cocoa powder, use a good quality
- pinch of sea salt, brings out the chocolate flavor
- Vegan chocolate chips, optional but soooo good so I highly recommend it!

Bake for 7-9 min, the cookies will still be soft when you take them out of the oven but will set as they cool. So it is important to let the cool down completely before removing them to an air tight container.
