Vegan Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe

This is an easy and quick recipe. This is the most authentic recipe for vegan peanut butter cookies.

These are the ingredients needed for vegan peanut butter cookies; all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, flaxseed meal, water, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, peanut butter, kosher salt, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and extra granulated sugar for rolling.

These are the steps to follow for this recipe

To start with, in a small bowl, whisk together the flaxseed meal and water, and then let the mixture sit for 10 minutes.

In the meantime, in a medium bowl, whisk light brown sugar, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until smoothly combined.

Then add peanut butter, vanilla extract, and flax mixture. 

Instantly whisk again until the dough is smooth and the peanut butter has fully blended into the batter.

After the batter thickens, switch to a rubber spatula or wooden spoon as required. Then place the dough in the refrigerator to chill for about 30 minutes.

Afterward, place a rack in the center of the oven and then preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. 

Next, line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or baking paper.

 

After the dough has chilled, remove it from the refrigerator and then scoop the cookies by filling 1 tablespoon of dough and rolling them into balls that are around 1 ½ inch in diameter.

Furthermore, add ¼ cup of granulated sugar to a small bowl and then roll each ball in the sugar, then place them onto the baking sheet, leaving about 1 to 2 inches of space around each one.

 

While using the tines of a fork, create a crisscross indent on each, leaving the cookies moderately thick. 

After that, bake the cookies until they are slightly golden at the edges but still a bit underdone in the center, about 8 minutes.

Let the cookies rest on a baking sheet for roughly 2 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling wire rack to finish cooling. 

Repeat the process with the remaining dough.
