Saw this, stared at my pantry thinking "I have these things..." and 30 minutes later, I'm eating awesome cookies.

[@hotforfood]

+Kimtrovert YASS amazing :)

[@rayerayeq]

literally had same exact thought go in my head

[@alexandersage967]

The amount of peanutbutter you use is absurd. I love it!

[@hotforfood]

+Alexander Sage haha

[@1024specialkay]

[@HealthyGroceryGirl]

Chocolate chip peanut butter cookies are one of my fav :) Love the simplicity of your recipe!! xx

[@hotforfood]

+HealthyGroceryGirl thank you so much!

[@avolovo]

Made these with all purpose flour for friends as Christmas gifts and they tastes great! Will make more for more friends!

[@Veganvideopantry]

You've definitely got me salivating now! I'm definitely going to make these as soon it cools down enough to turn on the oven for baking again.

[@taniaallan5702]

Made these tonight. Yummy, simple, simply yummy! Thanks Lauren ❤️

[@hotforfood]

Glad you like them! They're a fave! SO EASY!

[@sleeves2long]

I just made these and they are probably (definitely) the best cookies I've ever had they are so decadent and delicious!!! Thank you guys so much!!

[@frankie7723]

just made these. sized them with a teaspoon cooked up half and froze the rest after i measured each one out so i just have to grab them and toss them onto a baking pan in my toaster oven. I ate them right out of the oven and burned my mouth, but they were so good... I risked burning my mouth ... again.. and I did . So easy to throw together and so worth it

[@hotforfood]

+Frankie hahah so impatient ;) Glad you liked em!

[@jennyh5641]

Thank you so much for posting this! I made three of these today in my toaster oven using a fourth of the ingredients and even without the vanilla extract and chocolate chips they still tasted great!

[@hotforfood]

+Jenny H oh wow! hot for food hack haha

[@limbsdemon]

These are amazing! I ended up with only 10 cookies because I couldn't stop eating the dough...

[@hotforfood]

+Kayla S hahaha awesome!

[@sunnymelonity]

[@lanii5267]

Amazing...love the use of rice flour!

[@LoganLovesPickles]

Just made these and they are the BOMB. I used Walmart brand natural peanut butter and had to put WAY more flour than the recipe calls for but they still turned out great. I also didn't have any vegan chocolate chips so I just had the plain old peanut butter cookies. SO GOOD. Gotta go workout now...

[@hotforfood]

naw no work out

[@kaylakemper7533]

I just baked these using coconut flour and they turned out perfect!

[@hotforfood]

+kayla kemper AWESOME!!!!

[@microseed]

These are way too easy. YUM!

[@sarahbeirne9982]

These are just what my 35 wk preggo belly needed. Can't.... stop... eating them! I think I used spelt flour and they are perfect! After baby I'll add Brewers yeast to make them lactation cookies. :)

[@hotforfood]

YAAY so glad they satisfied :D

[@kimigirl1621]

Just made it! I burnt the bottom though because I ALWAYS without fail forget about cookies (cookies hate me) and leave them in like 5 minutes too long. It still tastes delicious haha

[@hamie58]

I just made my second batch of these and both times I needed more flour and a longer cook time, not sure if it's because I used a different peanut butter but they still taste great.

[@lydiasharman7198]

My colleague is leaving tomorrow and I completely forgot to bake a cake so these are a LIFE SAVER! Simple ingredients that i already had in the house as it’s now 11:10 in the uk so the ship is shut xxx

[@mariaconiramirez6686]

I made these delicious cookies and your brownies for thanksgiving and my family loves them and they are not even vegan!

[@hotforfood]

+Maria Ramirez awesome! SO GLAD :)

[@Anarchivist343]

These are great but I added a couple tbs of agua faba to give them better spreading power.

[@clairedejean5496]

YUM. Looks so great! Can't wait to try! Could you substitute the brown rice flour for another flour type like almond flour? :)

[@Charlenedoesstuff]

of course i had all the ingredients...of course i made them....just as I suspected ... easy and tasty!!

[@hotforfood]

+FiesTeaSpice YAY!

[@fastlane1952]

1 2 3 Vegan Cookies wow that was simple. I am indeed a Happy Man since I found this channel :) lol I remember when I first decided to go Vegan. All I kept thinking was "but what am I going to eat, Salads?" lmao I was so silly.

[@hotforfood]

+Everyday Vegan hahah it's amazing the progress of vegan food! Thank you for sharing and happy to have you here!

[@huriye161]

☯ Everyday Vegan ⓥ same here!!! I became vegan overnight and the first few days I was starving because I simply didn't know what I should be eating. It's been 16 days now since I've been vegan and I'm not starving anymore. I'm really getting the hang of this.

[@MissAllanPoe1988]

These are going to make the best Special cookies

[@hotforfood]

+MissAllanPoe1989 :O

[@Veganvideopantry]

+MissAllanPoe1989 Now that's a great idea!

[@joselinema]

Vegalicious :)

[@Jenshi13665]

Made this tonight. It took LITERALLY 3 minutes to make the batter, 10 to bake. I just...yas.

[@hotforfood]

+Jenshi13665 YES so glad you liked!

[@TheAaronLua]

These cookies look great! Just wondering if anyone who has made it can answer my question. Are they crunchy or moist?

[@azoresplayah]

Can I use hempseed flour instead of regular flour? Thx for sharing your yummy recipe.

[@salomepereira8014]

Can I replace maple syrup with agave??? I can't wait to try this!!!!

[@mickeyluo2886]

Thx for the recipe. I made these and at 12 min they came out looking gorgeous the texture was spot on. but the taste was way too peanut buttery.😢 should I only add half cup peanut butter?

[@pistacho.cerrao]

May I use whole wheat flour? I can't find brown rice flour easily where I live. Also maple syrup is really expensive, so I'll change it for agave nectar or cane sugar syrup.

[@shayg.4897]

Just made these.. DELISH. BUT, how does one keep the cookie from sticking to their fingers??

[@laurena8827]

I just made these and they were very crumbly (falling apart) as I removed them from the pan after baking. I used regular white flour, but otherwise stuck to your recipe. Not sure why they did that. But they taste great!

[@namat6830]

damn that is so good and yet so simple :p my girlfriend thought they were store bought

[@hotforfood]

+Namat Obaidi AWESOME!

[@s2xos2]

Would I be able to use PB2 (with water) instead of peanut butter? This is an awesome recipe btw, thank you so much!!

[@hotforfood]

+Judy Li interesting. We have that producttoo but have yet to try it out! Try and let us know?! maybe!

[@KatherineMcG]

Those look delicious AND simple-gotta love Wednesdays ;o]

[@jasminerain4692]

Just me who double x s them with the fork

[@moonlady]

jasmine rain double x's all the way!

[@tanyabui3550]

can i sub maple syrup for agave? maple's soo expensive :(

[@User-m9u4i]

can I make this using wheat flour

[@mary69666]

Are these crispy?

[@arusadhukka7286]

Are these more crunchy or chewy?

[@elonaroshi3480]

This cookies look delicious can you substitute the Rice flour with bob red mill gluten free flour?

[@hotforfood]

yes probably... but I haven't tried!

[@Rowens556]

Can i use other kinds of flour?

[@tierrashanice6299]

I love how simple it is, but is the maple syrup necessary? I like to limit my sugar intake. (This is not a rhetorical question btw). Thanks ahead of time.

[@hotforfood]

+Tierra Shanice well there won't be any sweetness?! But also the liquid sugar binds the dough too.

[@globalSchelmuffsky]

can i order?

[@celineberton4018]

Jenna Marbles did your BBQ cauliflower recipe on camera in his boyfriends vlog :)

[@amber1509]

I made these and i don't know why or how but mine failed miserably, they weren't a cookie consistency and burned at the bottom within three seconds of being in the oven🙄 I'm sure the cookies are great, just mine were a flop😓 I'm thinking i may have not used enough flour, but who knows.

[@sashaandrews5444]

About how many cookies does this recipe make???

[@JaciWalker]

If I don't like chocolate and I leave it out will the consistency be the same? Also could I substitute it for raspberries or jersey caramels?

[@hotforfood]

+Jaci Walker we say do whatever you like! freeze dried raspberries would prob work but not fresh or frozen

[@holisticmaya]

Yums!! Could i replace the Rice flour with coconut flour or chickpea flour?

[@hotforfood]

+Maya D haven't tried! But I'm sure you could

[@holisticmaya]

Thanks!

[@huriye161]

holisticmaya chickpea flour might make it off tasting. Try oat flour just grind your oats in a high powered blender. I know it's too late to say this now lol.

[@jennita1234]

does using light syrup work or does it need to be or make syrup, I ask because I have light pancake syrup in my fridge right now...

[@Jenshi13665]

+hey_ jeeta I think they'll like, bake, but as far as tasting as good....eh?

[@phoesmi5911]

can i replace maple syrup with sugar and maybe some water? maple syrup is just so expensive where i live

[@tyleemorris7837]

You can use agave nectar

[@phoesmi5911]

thanks, i actually just used sugar and some water and it came out great :)

[@anacriscg]

phoesmi how did you do it?? Like how much sugar and water??

[@Savvymomsquad1]

I just followed this recipe to the T and I think the measurements might be a little off the cookies weren’t cookie consistency they crumbled and stuck to my fingers it was a fail for me. 😢

[@SchaSdancelikenobodyiswatching]

Can it be any type of flour? PB is my fav.Cookies are my fav.Put both together..perfection!

[@hotforfood]

+Scha S like all-purpose? yes or whole wheat... this is just a gluten free option. Its actually very moist.

[@SchaSdancelikenobodyiswatching]

+hot for food Maybe Coconut / oat flour ?:D

[@225kristent]

+Scha S I was thinking oat flour myself :)

[@SchaSdancelikenobodyiswatching]

I think it's a healthier option!

[@mirandapinyon5531]

I tried making these last night (halfed the recipe and used all purpose flour) and they melted into eachother forming a huge tray of bubbling flat cookie... I mean I still ate then because I was desperate.. but I'd love to have them turn out properly next time -- any suggestions?

[@hotforfood]

perhaps the all purpose. I used rice flour. Did you have too much oil in the nut butter? When you form them on the tray they just keep the same shape upon baking?! I dunno

[@usernamecc91]

Can you use coconut flour instead of the brown rice flour?

[@hotforfood]

+usernamecc91 we haven't tried but maybe!

[@notsomuchhere1387]

what can you substitute the maple syrup with?

[@hotforfood]

+Miss Spectator brown rice syrup

[@quielas.2455]

Do you have to use brown rice flower? Or can you use a different kind?

[@quielas.2455]

Flour*

[@hotforfood]

+Quiela Soliz you can use a different kidn of flour. Anything works really. It just might affect the amount of peanut butter or maple syrup you need to add

[@Aye_pepitoo1789]

who's dat boi? mister peanut butter

[@laurenking6752]

Can I use aluminum foil instead of parchment paper? I don't have parchment paper

[@hotforfood]

+Lauren King try with nothing. The peanut butter is oily enough it should stick. BUT watch them carefully as the baking pans get super hot and they could over cook on the bottom. Foil really makes things worse for baking :)

[@DragonKnight401]

I only have all purpose flour, is that possible to substitute for the rice flour?

[@ribbons1389]

Yes

[@ribbons1389]

Yes

[@billdidit8115]

Did you oil your hands when you formed the cookies? There was no possible way to handle the "dough", it stuck to everything. Followed the recipe to a tee and still ended up having to bake them 15 min. and they were still mushy in the middle. Any idea what could have happened?

[@hotforfood]

+William Holleman hmmm sometimes if your nut butter isn't mixed well and too oiley then it does end up being too sticky and you need to add more flour but only a small amount at a time. I didn't oil my hands before handling. Sometimes I think it also has to do with the temperature of the room /climate you're living in. There are a lot of elements at work when you're cooking/baking and making a recipe but from the feedback only a couple of people have had this issue so I'm not exactly sure what's different that you're doing.

[@billdidit8115]

Thank you for the reply, your right a lot can play into baking. Like they say "If at first you don't succeed try, try again. lol

[@amilwynn391]

what type of mable syrup are they using is it the kind u put on pancakes

[@hotforfood]

PURE maple syrup of course!!!

[@amilwynn391]

hot for food oh thanks i was just asking

[@venerablemahadevapaccekabu5121]

I haven't had cookies in years; I can't wait to try these! Except that I shall omit the vanilla extract, I'm not partial to vanilla. Thx 4 sharing your recipe. ॐAmitabh

[@hotforfood]

ya no worries, it won't make or break it! ENJOY!

[@laurenking6752]

Is it good without chocolate chips?

[@hotforfood]

+Lauren King umm ya I mean its nice to have something to break them up. Maybe try dried cranberries?

[@bkingfolife]

I'm not a big fan of peanut butter cookies. Do you guys have a recipe for just regular vegan chocolate chip cookies?

[@hotforfood]

+Brittain Kingston ya there is one on the channel! kzbin.info/www/bejne/opa5l6pnhNl4eKM

[@paigem5707]

I'm not vegan but I do want to eat healthier

[@225kristent]

I have to wonder at the people who ask a question but then have their settings so no one can reply :\

[@hotforfood]

+Kristen225 HAHAH THANK YOU! I think people don't realize they have to update something in their google + acct. Right. I know! I can't do anything about that :/

[@DollfaceNinjaBarbie_Tabz]

Where do you find vegan chocolate chips ?

[@hotforfood]

these are by a brand called Enjoy Life. I find them at most grocery stores!

[@inagadda1976]

Giardelli semi sweet chips/chunks

[@philipevanson8821]

how can it be vegan if butter is used ?

[@hotforfood]

+philip evanson ummm it's peanut butter?!

[@Neekaskitchen]

Lol

[@lorirod1012]

I'm in California does anybody know where I can buy vegan chocolate chips.

[@mary69666]

[@inagadda1976]

Giardelli semi sweet chips/chunks

[@kimigirl1621]

Even the Trader Joe's dark chocolate chips are vegan (most dark chocolate chips are actually)

[@HelenaAwode]

IDK WHAT IM DOING WRONG....im in my kitchen right now making these cookies and the flavors are amazing but my cookies are way too gooey.. i added about a 1/2 cup more flour and i still couldn't form a cookie with my hands... some one please tell me what I'm doing wrong... i want to make them again for our work cookie swap on monday !!!!

[@hotforfood]

+Queen Helena Marie do you live somewhere warm? I don't know. Can you just add more flour until it gets to the thicker consistency? Did you follow the recipe exact with the same ingredients? I'm so sorry I don't know!

[@hotforfood]

+Queen Helena Marie Oh one thing it might be is if your peanut butter isn't mixed really well it could have a lot of oil in it making it liquidier. In which case you might have to just add a tbsp of flour at a time and mix until it reaches the right consistency. Or refrigerate the dough maybe?

[@HelenaAwode]

yes i bought everything exactly the same as the recipe...ill see how it goes I'm about to make them again

[@Erinmayhenry]

These are amazing! I just made them and shared for you guys on my blog! (properly credited DW) Would love if you checked it out xxx erinmayfitness.com/the-best-healthy-cookies-like-literally-ever/

[@kierstynsaoirse]
