Chocolate Chip Cookies, Vegan and Gluten-Free

Chocolatey, peanutty, mouthwatering vegan and gluten-free Chocolate Chip Cookies! Another recipe made with aquafaba!

We seriously emptied out the pantry when creating these cookies!  I would have added walnuts if I had them, next time!  In place of eggs I used my new favorite ingredient from last week…aquafaba! Read up here on for the BEST CHOCOLATE CAKE EVER!  I was impressed once again with the consistency aquafaba lends to baked goods, very similar to using eggs!

For a peanutty flavor I added organic peanut powder similar to PB2.  If you’re not familiar with powdered peanut butter it’s peanuts that have been dehydrated and pressed.  The end result is a powder that contains less fat and calories than peanut butter.  I honestly don’t get the concept of powdered peanut butter as my favorite part of peanuts is its healthy fat content, but my mom left it at my house and I needed to use it somehow!  It was a good way to sneak in the flavor without making the cookies too dense.  You can also add it to smoothies and sauces in addition to baking with it.
