Break a dairy-free chocolate bar into squares and set aside.

In a sauce pan, slowly heat the vegan butter until mostly melted.

Remove the butter from the heat and stir in the sugar, maple syrup, peanut butter and vanilla until a smooth mixture forms.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda.

Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms.

Roll the dough into 1 ½ inch balls and roll the balls in extra sugar.

Place the balls on your prepared baking pan and bake for 8-10 minutes or until slightly brown around the edges.

Remove the cookies from the oven and quickly press one square of chocolate into the center of each cookie.

Allow the cookies to cook for a few minutes before serving.
