Ingredients:


  • 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour or gluten free flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 cup White Granulated Sugar + 1/4 cup for rolling ( set aside)
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 TBS of flaxseed + 3 tbs of water ( flax egg)
  • 1/2 cup of smart balance original dairy free butter ( or other vegan butter of choice)
  • 3/4 C Smooth or crunchy peanut butter
  • 1 TBS vanilla
  • 1 TBS Almond Milk* (if necessary)




Directions:


  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F
  2. Prepare flax egg by combining 1tbs of flax seed + 3 tBS of water, set aside for 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the sugar, butter, to a mixer and beat them together until creamy.
  4. Add the flax egg, peanut butter and vanilla extract and continue mixing.
  5. In a separate bowl, add the all purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt and mix together.
  6. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until combined. Do not over mix.
  7. If the dough is too thick and crumbly, add 1TBS of almond milk and mix together.
  8. Roll the dough into balls, and then roll the balls in sugar and place them evenly onto a parchment lined cookie sheet.
  9. Flatten slightly with a fork in a crisscross pattern.
  10. Bake for 10 minutes until golden on top. If you want them a little crispier we recommend leaving them in the oven a little longer ( 12-13 minutes).


Tips/Tricks: We use smart balance original butter when making these cookies as they provide the best taste ( in our opinion). Feel free to use any dairy free butter you prefer. We love dunking our cookies in a glass of unsweetened almond milk for a delicious afternoon snack or after dinner treat. These store great for about a week and a half. This recipe makes roughly 24 cookies.
