Description
These Vegan Peanut Butter Sugar Cookies are a delightful treat for those with a sweet tooth. Made with simple ingredients, they are easy to whip up and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
For the cookies:
- 1 cup natural creamy peanut butter
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar (packed)
- ¼ cup almond milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- optional: extra sugar for rolling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, combine peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Mix in almond milk and vanilla extract.
- Combine dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Form dough: Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
- Shape cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions, roll into balls, and coat with sugar if desired. Flatten each ball with a fork in a criss-cross pattern.
- Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
- These cookies will be soft out of the oven but firm up as they cool.
- For a crunchier cookie, bake an extra 1–2 minutes.
