Additionally, adding too much sugar can also cause the cookies to solidify even more as they cool.<\/p>\n<h3>Why do homemade peanut butter cookies fall apart?<\/h3>\n<p>If your vegan peanut butter cookies are too crumbly, it could mean they were cooked for too long and became overly dry, or they weren&#8217;t cooled for long enough.
