Vegan Peanut Butter Cookies
The original purpose of the hatch-mark pattern remains a mystery. The simplest explanation is that this classic pattern makes it easy to distinguish between peanut butter cookies and other cookies. Whatever the purpose, these cookies taste peanut-buttery and delicious!

Ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup vegan margarine
- 1⁄2 cup vegetable shortening
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- Egg replacement equal to 2 eggs
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 cup natural chunky peanut butter
- 2 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1⁄2 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1⁄4 tsp. salt
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Cream margarine, shortening, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl. Stir in egg replacement, vanilla extract, and peanut butter. In a separate bowl, sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together. Gradually combine flour mixture with wet ingredients.
- Roll pieces of dough by hand into 1-inch balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet about 1 inch apart. Refrigerate the dough for a few minutes if it seems too soft to roll easily. Use a fork to flatten each cookie with a crisscross pattern.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown around the edges. Cool completely on a wire rack.
