Eggless Peanut Butter Choco Chips Cookies Recipe

Though we bake all around a year, December is when we do most of the baking. With Christmas around the corner, it is so lovely to bake non stop. I have been baking non stop last week and Sruti felt like Diwali has returned with so many sweets piling up in the kitchen. She is so happy that I chose to participate in Bake-a-thon, where we fellow bloggers come together to bake 13 recipes in December. At first my list was mostly for Sruti, but looking at the amount of maida going into it, I revised the list. So only a part of these recipes are for Sruti and I made most of them for myself. I know I am being selfish, but I didn’t want to feed her too much refined products. But still she got some amazing treats and she is happy.

For the first day, I made some delicious peanut butter choco chip cookies. Recently I made peanut butter at home to use in recipes, and here is one I used it. I converted my Eggless Choco Chip Cookies into Peanut butter choco chip cookies by substituting half the butter with peanut butter. And also I added some extra choco chips for my daughter. While baking cookies, it is really important to know when to remove them from oven. If you remove them after they become firm, they would be too hard once they cool down because cookies continue cooking even after you remove them out of oven. So take them out when they are still soft. It comes with experience so don’t be disheartened. I made some crispy cookies because my daughter loves them. But if you want them soft like cakes, then reduce baking time. These are perfect for chocolate fanatics.
