  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 cup Vegan Butter (Softened)
  • 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar (Packed)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2-3 tablespoons Plant-Based Milk (Almond, Soy, or Oat)

Preparation

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. Step 3: Cream Butter and Sugars In a large bowl, cream together the softened vegan butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Use an electric mixer for best results. Step 4: Add Wet Ingredients Beat in the vanilla extract. Gradually add the plant-based milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Step 6: Shape the Cookies Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie. Use a fork to flatten each cookie in a criss-cross pattern. Step 7: Bake Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Step 8: Enjoy Enjoy your delicious vegan peanut butter cookies!

Other Important Considerations for Nutrition

These cookies contain peanut butter, which is a good source of protein and healthy fats. Using vegan butter reduces saturated fat compared to traditional butter. Brown sugar contributes to a slightly richer flavor and texture compared to using only granulated sugar. As with any dessert, consume in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

FAQ

  • Can I use a different type of nut butter?

    Yes, you can substitute peanut butter with almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter for a different flavor profile. Keep in mind that this may alter the taste and texture of the cookies slightly.
  • What if my dough is too dry?

    If your dough is too dry, add an extra tablespoon of plant-based milk at a time until the dough comes together. If your dough is very crumbly, you may have added too much flour.
  • How do I store the cookies?

    Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. They can also be frozen for longer storage. Thaw them at room temperature before serving.
