These Vegan Peanut Butter Cookies taste just like the old classic peanut butter cookies we all loved as a kid.

In this recipe I switched out the traditional ingredients with vegan replacements and I still got the same awesome taste that I enjoyed in my childhood.

Just like the original peanut butter cookies they are soft on the inside and crisp on the outside.

Do you have to use peanut butter?

No! Any nut butter will work for these cookies, just to name a few,

Sunflower Butter
Cashew Butter
Almond Butter
Hazelnut Butter
Blend a couple together to customize your cookies.

Creamy or Chunky peanut butter?

I have used both the creamy and chunky peanut butter for this recipe.

Both have turned out perfect, so go with what ever you have on hand in your pantry.

These cookies are so easy to make using simple ingredients and a batch can be whipped up in as little as 30 minutes!

Ingredients needed for these cookies

Flour – I like to use a all purpose flour in my cookies.
Baking Soda and Baking Powder – These two leavening agents added to these cookies give a combined reaction to achieve the intended balance of flavor and textures.
Salt – Salt is not only the flavor enhancer, but also effects the tenderness of the cookies.
Peanut Butter – In this recipe I have used a crunchy and creamy peanut butter. What ever you have on hand will work. You can also substitute with a different nut butter or even blending a couple to get a different nut butter cookie.
Margarine – I used a vegan margarine for these cookies.
Real Maple Syrup – Maple syrup is my sweetener of choice for these cookies. Maple syrup can have many different flavors to it depending on how dark it is. I like the rich flavor of the amber colored maple syrup for these cookies. It has a classic maple syrup flavor.
Egg Substitute – In this recipe I used a powdered egg substitute.

How to make Vegan Peanut Butter Cookies

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

In a small bowl, mix the egg substitute to the package direction and set aside.

Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium size mixing bowl, set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, blend together peanut butter and margarine until smooth.

Add the syrup and egg substitute to the peanut butter mixture, continue to blend until all ingredients are well combined.

Then add the flour mixture and blend until well combined.

Scoop out a small amount of dough and form into a 3/4 inch ball, place onto the lined baking sheet. Continue until all the dough is gone.

With a fork make a criss-cross pattern on each cookie, pressing down on the cookies as you make the pattern.

Once done, place both baking sheets into oven.

Bake for 8 minutes, rotate the sheets and continue to bake for another 7 minutes.

After 7 minutes check the cookies to see if they are done, they will be firm to the touch and have a slight brown color to them.

Once they are done, remove them from the oven.

Remove the cookies from the baking sheet and place them onto a cooling rack.

After the cookies have cooled completely, place in a air tight container.

Want to save your cookies for a later date, put the extra’s in your freezer!
