Ingredients

• 1 cup Smooth peanut butter
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 3 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk or any plant-based milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

Add the almond milk (or other plant-based milk) and vanilla extract to the mixture. Stir until well incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mix until a soft cookie dough forms.

Step 6

Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Place it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Using the tines of a fork, gently press down each dough ball twice in a criss-cross pattern to slightly flatten them.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden and the cookies are set but still soft in the center.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your delicious vegetarian peanut butter cookies!
