Are you a peanut butter lover? Do you love cookies? I mean, who doesn’t right?! Peanut butter is a close second behind chocolate chip when it comes cookies for me. They are just so rich, decadent, and satisfy my sweet tooth like nothing else. Peanut butter cookies are so classic and nostalgic for me. My mom used to make them all the time for me and all of my cousins when we would have sleep overs. I’m also a peanut butter lover so anything peanut butter was good with me!
I decided that it wouldn’t be difficult to veganize peanut butter cookies and gave it a try. I only subbed the milk with soy milk, since my mom wouldn’t add eggs to her cookies anyway. They came delicious! So soft, peanut butter-y, and perfectly sweet and salty! The best part? These cookies are a one bowl cookie recipe! That’s right. One bowl, a few minutes, a few simple ingredients, and you have yummy vegan peanut butter cookies ready to enjoy!
Simple Vegan Peanut Butter Cookies: What you will need
For the vegan peanut butter cookies, you will need:
- 1 C. of Natural Peanut Butter
- 1 C. Turbinado Sugar
- 6 Tbsp Soy Milk
- 1/2 Tbsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 C. All Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
You can also make these cookies gluten free by subbing the all purpose flour for a gluten free flour, they will taste just as great!
Steps
- Preheat oven to 350 F
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and sugar until they are fully mixed.
- Add the soy milk and vanilla extract and mix again until everything is uniform.
4. Finally, add the flour and the baking soda and and mix well until a dough forms. At this point, it will be hard to use a spoon so you will want to use your hands!
5. Using a 1 1/2 tablespoon (or just a regular spoon if you’re not a perfectionist!) take the dough and form into little balls. Place the cookie dough balls on a parchment lined baking sheet.
6. Take a fork to flatten the cookie and create the cookie lines, as shown in photo.
7. Place in the oven and bake for 10-12 min,
8. Remove from heat and allow the cookies to cool before eating (tempting I know!).
These cookies will store well up to 2 weeks in an air tight container. Sprinkle some sea salt on top of the cookies for added flavor (or just for looks) if desired.
