Vegan Peanut Butter Cookies Recipes
Introduction
Peanut butter cookies are a classic favorite, but did you know that you can enjoy them even if you follow a vegan diet? These vegan peanut butter cookies are delicious, easy to make, and require just a few simple ingredients. Whether you are vegan or not, you’ll love these tasty treats!
Ingredients
– 1 cup of creamy peanut butter
– 1/2 cup of maple syrup
– 1/4 cup of coconut oil, melted
– 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
– 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
– 1/4 teaspoon of salt
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined and smooth.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing well after each addition. Stir until the dough comes together and is thoroughly combined.
5. Take spoonfuls of the dough and roll them into balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
6. Use a fork to gently press down on each cookie, creating a crisscross pattern. This will also help the cookies to spread slightly while baking.
7. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown around the edges.
8. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
