Ingredients
- ½ cup peanut butter
- 4 tablespoons vegan butter like Earth Balance
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 1 flax egg 1 tbsp ground flax, 1 tbsp corn starch, 3 tbsp water
- ½ cup plant-based milk soy, almond, etc
- 1½ cup flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup chopped peanuts
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Creamy Peanut Butter Frosting
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons of syrup sweetener agave, honey, or maple syrup
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 350F.
- Combine the peanut butter and vegan butter in a mixing bowl and stir together vigorously until light and fluffy. Add the brown sugar, flax egg, vanilla and soy milk. Stir again until well combined.
- Move the contents in the bowl to one side (I used a spatula to create some separation). On the empty side of the bowl add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir to combine. Then stir all the ingredients together.
- Add the chopped peanuts and give it one last stir.
- Use a cookie dough scoop to create evenly sized cookie dough balls. Roll them in the 2 tablespoons of sugar and place them on an ungreased cookie sheet about 1.5 inches apart. Bake for 10 minutes.
- While the cookies are baking, prepare your Creamy Peanut Butter Frosting by combining the peanut butter and syrup in a bowl. Stir to combine. If you like a lot of frosting on your cookies, you may want to double this recipe.
- After the cookies are done, place them on a rack to cool before frosting.
