Recipe by Simple Veganista

nutrition

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup natural peanut butter (270g), creamy or crunchy (or almond butter)
  • 1 cup coconut sugar or pure cane sugar* (192g)
  • 6 tablespoons almond milk, room temp
  • 1 cup flour (120g), spelt, unbleached all-purpose, almond flour, or 1-1 gluten-free blend
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda**
  • A generous pinch of mineral salt (only use if nut butter is unsalted)
*Reduce the sugar to ¾ cup for a less sweet cookie. It’s just as delicious!
**If you don’t have baking soda on hand, baking powder works great too. I tested many batches and they were just fine.

Makes 20 – 24 cookies.

Easy to make and easier to eat, these thick, soft, and chewy homemade peanut butter cookies are made in 1 bowl with peanut butter, flour, sugar, vanilla, and almond milk!

This cozy homemade recipe is so easy that you’ll probably memorize it and make it again and again. Dairy and egg-free, it’s my all-time favorite peanut butter cookies!

INTRUCTIONS

  • 1

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with silicone mat, parchment paper or leave ungreased.

  • 2

  • Make the dough: In a large bowl, add the peanut butter and sugar and mix until creamy. Stir in the almond milk and vanilla. Next, add the flour, baking soda, and salt, mix to combine. The dough will be tough to stir, using your hands to mix it together will be easier.

  • 3

  • Roll and flatten: Using a 1.5 tablespoon scooper, scoop out the dough and roll into balls, about 1 ¼ inch. Place the balls of dough about 2 ½ inches apart on a baking sheet. Using the back of a fork, flatten in a crisscross pattern. Optionally, sprinkle with sugar or coarse salt.

  • 4

  • Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 10 – 13 minutes (13 minutes will yield a crispier cookie that’s tender inside). Let cool a few minutes, transfer cookies to wire rack and repeat with remaining dough.
