Vegan Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

Step 2

Add the vegan butter and white and brown sugar to an electric mixer bowl and cream them together. Do this very well, let it run a couple of minutes while you get some other ingredients ready. Add in the peanut butter and vanilla extract while the mixer is running and let them mix in well.

Step 3

Add the flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda and salt to a separate bowl and mix in together. Add all the dry ingredients in with the vegan butter, sugar and peanut butter mixture. Mix together with a spoon (don't use the electric mixer for this part).

Step 4

Your cookie dough should be fairly wet, a little too wet to roll into balls with your hands. Use a cookie scoop to scoop out even sized amount of dough onto a parchment lined baking tray. Aim for roughly 2 Tablespoon sized balls and to get around 20 cookies.

Step 5

Flatten the cookies with a fork.

Step 6

Bake for 12-15 minutes. When you bring them out the oven they will be very soft in the middle but lightly browned on top.

Step 7

Allow them to cool directly on the tray so they can firm up before you move them.
