What You Need To Make Best Vegan Peanut Butter Cookies

Baking Instructions For The Vegan Peanut Butter Cookies

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. It is a good idea to mix the flax seed powder with the water in its own bowl so that it has time to thicken.
Mix the oil and sugar together, first. This does not take a lot of effort, so use only a mixing spoon. Gradually add the flour, along with the salt and baking powder. Add the flaxseed mixture, and then add the peanut butter. If the vegan peanut butter cookies mixture seems too crumbly, add some more oil in order to increase the moisture content.
The cookies can be shaped by hand or with the help of a tablespoon. Place the vegan cookies with peanut butter on a lightly greased cookie sheet; although the oil content of the butter should keep these cookies from sticking.
Place the cookies in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven, and place them on a cooling rack. Store them in an airtight container, or a cookie tin lined with wax paper when they have cooled.
