Description
Quick to make with pantry ingredients, these easy one bowl vegan Peanut Butter Cookies are chewy, delicious and packed with peanut butter goodness.
Ingredients
Units
- 2 oz (4 tablespoons) softened butter (or vegan butter)
- 3/4 cup all natural peanut butter, stirred
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all purpose flour (or try pastry flour)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 F.
- In a large bowl, combine softened butter, peanut butter and sugar and mix until smooth and creamy.
- Mix in maple syrup and vanilla until fully incorporated.
- Add the flour, then sprinkle in salt and baking soda evenly over the flour.
- Mix it altogether. The dough will be a little stiff, but should easily stick together.
- Scoop out or roll into balls the size of a walnut. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, 3 inches apart.
- Press down with the tines of a fork, first one way and then the other to create a criss-cross pattern.
- Bake at 375 F for about 11 minutes, until the edges begin to crisp. This will yield a cookie that is chewy and soft in the center, and will seem soft when you pull them from the oven, but will firm up as they cool. ( If you prefer a crisper texture, flatten the cookie a little more and bake for about 14 minutes.)
Notes
Cool and store in an airtight container for up to one week, or freeze for later!
