Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Whenever we see cookies with the fork criss-crosses, it makes us so nostalgic and happy. It takes us back to baking peanut butter cookies with our Grandmother when we were younger. 

I personally think that the forkprints are mandatory for any peanut butter-type cookie. 

This recipe from Sunday Morning Banana Pancakes is the perfect peanut butter chocolate chip recipe. It's also low in refined sugars
