Peanut Butter Cookies!!!

Cookies!!! YUMMY!!!

I don't make fattening sweet treats very often but every now and again will not hurt anyone. Before going plant based eating I used to LOVE making cookies and I have some REALLY great recipes. This recipe I was able to convert and they are just as good as the original recipe.  These are so easy and great to make with the kids!!! Every kid loves cookies and helping to make cookies is a memory that they will keep, so get your kids in the kitchen!!! :) And the best part? We all know it is the cookie dough!!! Bonus: No raw egg to worry about. YAY!!!

Enough talking more baking. Here is the recipe for these fantastic cookies.

PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES
I must say here that I always double up my batches of cookies this recipe is a single batch. If you want to double it up again great Math for the kids!!!

Preheat your oven to 375 degree Fahrenheit
Line your baking sheets if you want to with parchment paper.

In your standard mixer or in a bowl combine
1 Cup Crisco Butter Flavored
1/2 Cup Peanut Butter. I used Adams crunchy with half of the oil poured out and mixed well.
1/2 Cup Coconut Sugar
1/2 Cup Raw Unprocessed Sugar (Sucanat)
1 Tbsp Vanilla
3 Tbsp Almond Milk
1 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Salt
Mix well!!!
I am a lazy baker usually people sift their salt, soda, flour together. I am a dump kind of a cook and so mixing the soda and salt in at this point mixes it well. :) After you are to this point if you want Chocolate chips or Carab Chips now is the time to add them. mix before your flour.
1 3/4 Cup Wheat Flour
2 Tbsp Tapioca Flour
1 tsp Corn Starch
Mix Well and form into round balls with your hands. Place on your baking sheet and press down with a fork twice criss corssing like an x. Don't press down to hard your are just placing a pattern and pressing them down about half way.
Place in preheated oven (375) for 10-12 minutes. Don't over bake unless you want hard cookies. I love mine soft so I like to take them out at the 10 minute mark and let them cool (maybe) just a little to stiffen. A fork works if you just cant wait. :) Here are my cookies when they have cooled slightly. Don't forget your last batch!!! I always have a tendancy to burn my last batch. I didn't burn any of these ones. I think it helped that I now have a double oven AND I was taking them to my friend who said that they were soooo good. Even her little 2 year old loved them. :) Makes me so happy when I can share vegan treats that taste good. :)

Much love, Emily Bryar
