Instructions
How to make eggless peanut butter cookie dough
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This ensures the dry ingredients are evenly distributed for a consistent cookie texture.
- In a separate large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds. This helps aerate the butter.
- Add the granulated sugar and light brown sugar to the butter. Cream together on high speed for 1-2 minutes until light and fluffy. This creates a smooth base for the cookies.
- Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cookies tough. Refrigerate the dough for 30-60 minutes to allow it to firm up, making it easier to handle.
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll the chilled dough into small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each ball with a fork, creating a criss-cross pattern. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Storage of these no egg cookies
- Once the cookies are completely cool, store them in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their freshness.
