My husband is not hard to please when it comes to desserts. He either wants ice cream or anything with peanut butter. Peanut butter and chocolate combination, even better. That’s why it’s never difficult for me to come up with a dessert to make for him on Valentine’s Day. I stick to what he likes and I can never go wrong!
This year, I decided to create a cookie sandwich recipe for my man. Gluten free vegan chocolate peanut butter cookie sandwiches. Two soft, chewy chocolate cookies, filled with a creamy peanut butter filling. Done. All you need, right here in this cookie creation.
Wouldn’t these be so adorable wrapped up in little baggies with a bow and a sweet little note for your sweetie? I must agree. If you need to make them nut allergy friendly, simply swap out the peanut butter for sunflower seed butter. Still oh so rich and oh so decadent.
- 1 cup Sarah's gluten free flour blend
- 5 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 cup organic cane sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 3 tablespoons So Delicious unsweetened coconut milk, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, room temperature
- 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2-3 tablespoons So Delicious unsweetened coconut milk
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In medium bowl, sift together flour blend, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
- In large mixing bowl, cream together sugar, brown sugar, melted coconut oil, applesauce, coconut milk, maple syrup and vanilla. Add flour mixture and mix until blended.
- Place heaping-tablespoon size scoops of cookie dough onto prepared baking sheet, using cookie scoop. Cookies will spread.
- Bake cookies for 15-17 minutes. Cookies will be soft to the touch. Allow to cool on pan 5 minutes. Place on cooling rack to cool completely.
- To make peanut butter filling, mix together powdered sugar, peanut butter, coconut milk and vanilla. Whip until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble cookie sandwiches by spreading filling onto underside of one cookie and topping with another. Repeat with remaining cookies.

I would choose orange or turquoise. Orange is my favorite color, but the turquoise reminds me of the 1950s – a decade I love when it comes to clothes and kitchens!
These cookies look delicious. Anxious to try them, making them sugar free. Thanks for the giveaway also.
I would pick the red one!
Thanks for doing this giveaway, Sarah! I would love to win the mixer! 😉
Keep up the good work girl!
These look amazing! My family would absolutely gobble them up. Ha ha on the PB – my hubby loves it, too! 😉 Pinned! And will share later this week on FB.

I was wondering what kind of flour.. It says 5 cups and then says the cocoa…
Sorry, something got changed around for some reason, but it’s fixed now!
Is is 1 cup or 5 tablespoons of cocoa?
just fixed it…sorry about that! 1 cup Sarah’s gluten free flour blend and 5 tablespoon cocoa powder.
Made these for my husband as he is a lover of PB and all things sweet. These are FANTASTIC. The perfect treat for a thoughtful gift or just about any occasion! Loved everything about them!!
