Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened creamy peanut butter, room temperature (salted and with no added oil)
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- 3 tablespoon aquafaba (liquid from canned chickpeas)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° and line a *baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add peanut butter, coconut sugar and aquafaba to a mixing bowl. Use a spoon to mix everything until well-combined.
- Use a cookie scoop (I used a #40 disher) to scoop the dough onto the baking sheet. Using your hands, roll the scooped dough into balls and place back on the baking sheet.
- Using the back of a fork, make a crisscross pattern while pressing down on each cookie dough ball.
- Bake the cookies for 11-15 minutes. If you like them super soft, take them out closer to the 11 minute mark and if you like them more chewy with a little crisp to them, take them out closer to the 15 minute mark. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. The cookies will continue to set on the baking sheet.

Notes
To gather aquafaba, place a mesh strainer over a small mixing bowl and drain canned chickpeas right into the bowl. Be sure to use no salt added chickpeas. After the chickpeas are drained, pour the aquafaba into a mason jar, put on the lid tightly and shake well before using. Store the sealed mason jar of aquafaba in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
If your peanut butter is not salted, you can add ⅛ to ¼ teaspoon kosher salt.
*To prevent the bottoms of the cookies from burning, you can stack 2 baking sheets together.
Cookies taste best when stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. You can refrigerate them to make them last a few extra days. Cookies can also be frozen. To freeze, place the cookies in a freezer-safe airtight container or reusable food storage bag with pieces of parchment paper in between each one. When you're ready to enjoy them, remove the desired amount of cookies, place on a plate and leave on the counter to thaw for about 10-15 minutes.
