  • ½ cup vegan butter, softened
  • ¾ cup peanut butter
  • ½ cup granulated sugar

Instructions

  • Heat the flour until it reaches 165°F/75°C. See notes for 2 ways to do this. Allow the flour to cool completely.
  • Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or a handheld mixer, cream together the butter and peanut butter until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the sugars and continue mixing until creamy and smooth, another 2 to 3 minutes. Add soy milk and mix until combined.
    Looking down on a stand mixer with molasses cookie dough in the mixing bowl. The beater is also covered in cookie dough.
  • Add the cooled flour and salt and beat until just combined.
    A hand holds a bowl, pouring flour into a mixing bowl with whipped butter.
  • Assess the batter. If it's dry, add a teaspoon or two more soy milk. If it's too moist, add a tablespoon or two of heat-treated flour. If you don't have any more treated flour, substitute a tablespoon of ground flaxseed
  • Stir in your add-ins and then transfer to a serving dish. Serve immediately or refrigerate in a covered bowl for up to 7 days in the fridge or up to 2 months in the freezer.

Notes

Heat Flour in the Microwave: Place flour in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second increments and then stir. Repeat this process until the temperature of the flour reaches 165°F/75°C. Every microwave is different, so insert a kitchen thermometer into the flour to see if you've achieved the desired temperature.
Heat Flour in the Oven: Lina a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat oven to 300°F. Spread the flour evenly out on the pan. Place the pan in the oven and cook for 4 to 6 minutes, removing it every 2 minutes to stir the flour. Check the flour temperature with a kitchen thermometer to ensure it has achieved 165°F/75°C.
