If you are a peanut butter fan, you should double this recipe for vegan Peanut Butter Cookie Sandwiches by Renee Press and make an extra batch.

Buttery and not-too-sweet, these vegan peanut butter cookie sandwiches are full of healthy fats and protein from the nuts and omega 3s from the flax meal. They also have body soothing benefits from the coconut oil. They are 100% vegan, with no eggs or dairy here, and gluten-free if you use gluten-free flour and oats (which I did, but you don’t have to). You can use any nut butter to make these and add in other additions (like chocolate chips, nuts, seeds, etc) as you see fit.
