Vegan Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe

INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 cups peanut butter
1/3 cup margarine or oil
3/4 cups regular or brown sugar
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

Combine peanut butter in a large bowl with margarine or oil until smooth (it helps to soften the peanut butter by microwaving for 10-20 seconds). Add sugar and mix until smooth. Add remaining ingredients until well combined.
Roll into 1 inch balls or drop 1 inch spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet.

Optional: Gently flatten balls of dough with the back of a fork before baking in a criss-cross pattern. This is traditional for peanut butter cookies and makes them look smooth and finished rather than rough, but your cookies will taste great either way!

Bake for 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees.

Number of servings depends on the size you make them. The nutritional count is for 24 cookies.

Number of Servings: 24
