Ingredients
- ½ cup vegan margarine
- ½ 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
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- ¼ 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" balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet about 1" 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 10–12 minutes until golden brown around the edges. Cool completely on a wire rack.
