    Peanut Butter Pumpkin Seed Cookies

    Jump to Recipe


    If you love salty meets sweet flavors, this spin on a peanut butter cookie is for you. These Peanut Butter Pumpkin Seed Chocolate Chunk Cookies with a hint of sea salt on top are everything your cookie dreams are craving. They are chewy and nutty with loads of melty chocolate and pumpkin seeds nestled in each bite. I used my fave spicy raw pumpkin seeds and a vegan chocolate bar broken in pieces for the chocolate. Whip a batch of these cookies up today! And see how I like to eat them…

    So these were so freaking good.

    Like, really good.

    Like, I may have been eating them at inappropriate times of the day good.

    Like 10am.

    And then 1pm.

    And a nibble after dinner, too.

    But for good measure guys, I have been serving them with a dollop of my favorite peanut butter on top. Best move on my part! So good. Reminded me of a sort of “Nutter Butter” flavor..

    These vegan cookies are a fun spin for peanut butter cookie lovers’ like me.

    Ingredients

    • 1 tablespoon ground flax seed
    • ¼ cup warm water
    • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • ¼ cup peanut butter, softened
    • ¼ cup vegan butter
    • ¾ cup raw turbino sugar
    • 2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
    • 1 cup 1 tbsp whole wheat pastry flour
    • ¾ teaspoon sea salt
    • 2 teaspoon baking powder
    • ¼ cup pumpkin seeds + a few pinches extra for topping – raw and spicy flavor (lightly salted) – I use Eden or Go Raw brands

    • coarse sea salt for topping

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • Whisk together the flax seed with the warm water. Set aside to thicken for at least two minutes.
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, vanilla, vegan butter, vinegar, sugar and thickened flax egg. Stir by hand or with a mixer.
    • Fold in the flour, baking powder, sea salt. Stir until a dough forms. Then fold in the seeds and chocolate.
    • Roll into balls and place onto baking sheet. Press down with a fork to flatten. Top with coarse sea salt and a few additional pumpkin seeds.
    • Bake at 350 degrees for 9-14 minutes. Cool ten minutes before serving. Serve warm.
