These vegan peanut butter cookies are soft, chewy, and packed with peanut butter flavor. The recipe is super easy to make and doesn’t require any eggs or dairy products. Instead, unsweetened applesauce is used to bind the dough together, resulting in a moist and tender cookie. The brown sugar adds a deep caramel flavor and the fork marks on top give them a classic peanut butter cookie appearance. Enjoy these cookies with a cold glass of almond milk for the ultimate vegan dessert experience.
