Peanut Butter Coconut Shortbread – Vegan

Peanut Butter Coconut Shortbread

Since so many of us are confined home, ingredients for baking might be in short supply. These shortbread cookies don’t require eggs or butter.

The original recipe called for a pound of butter. I swapped out the butter with a cup each of peanut butter and coconut oil. It worked out great.

The cookies had that same wonderful crumbly texture and rich flavor you expect in a good shortbread cookie. I used crunchy peanut butter- it was what I had. I like the bits of peanuts in the cookies. I could see adding a few more chopped peanuts the next time I make these cookies.

You could also use other nut butters, like almond or cashew, if that is what you have.
