These vegan peanut butter stuffed brownie cookies inspired by the peanut butter brownie Crumbl cookies are going to rock your world! Not too complicated yet full of flavor, and unexpectedly vegan!
In a small bowl, mix together your vinegar and baking soda to create a "vinegar egg". Meanwhile, grab a large mixing bowl. Add your vegan butter, sugar, and vinegar egg. Beat until smooth. Stir in the all the dry ingredients until almost smooth - then add the non-dairy milk last just until the consistency is moist enough to form soft dough balls.
Once the dough is complete, let sit in fridge while you make your peanut butter filling.
Peanut Butter Filling
In a medium bowl, beat together all filling ingredients until smooth. Let sit in fridge for 5 minutes.
Cookie Assembly
Once dough and filling has chilled for a few moments, use a large cookie scoop to scoop 1/4 cup of cookie dough. Divide that 1/4 cup chunk of dough into a 2/3 chunk and a 1/3 chunk. Flatten the 2/3 chunk into a 1/3 inch thick disc then add some of the peanut butter filling on top. Roll out the 1/3 chunk to cover the peanut butter filling to form one big cookie that is stuffed with peanut butter.
Repeat that step until you're out of dough and pb filling. Bake at 350 F for 10-12 minutes - DO NOT OVERBAKE. Let cool COMPLETELY before handling. The cookies will harden more when they cool.
Topping
Once cookies have cooled, melt your chocolate chips and melt your peanut butter.
Spoon 1/2 - 1 tbsp of each on top of each cookie and let cool completely to "harden". Store in fridge or at room temp. Enjoy!
