Equipment

  • 1 Large Mixing Bowl

  • Measuring Cups and Spoons

Ingredients

  • 8 tablespoon Non Dairy Butter I used Soy-Free Earth Balance Buttery Sticks

  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • 2 ¼ Cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • ¼ tsp Baking Soda
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • ½ Cup Roasted Unsalted Peanuts, roughly chopped optional
  • 3 tablespoon Granulated Sugar

Instructions

  • In a large with a wooden spoon or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the non-dairy butter and brown sugar until well combined and fluffy.
    8 tablespoon Non Dairy Butter, 1 Cup Light Brown Sugar

    ⅔ Cup Natural Creamy Peanut Butter

    2 ¼ Cups All Purpose Flour, 1 teaspoon Baking Powder, ¼ teaspoon Baking Soda, ¼ teaspoon Salt, ½ Cup Roasted Unsalted Peanuts, roughly chopped
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment and use a ¼ cup measuring cup or large cookie scoop to scoop the dough into mounds onto the baking sheet. Roll each dough mound between your palms, then return them to the baking sheet. Wrap the baking sheet with plastic and refrigerate for an hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350* and line another baking sheet with parchment.
  • Roll 6-8 dough balls in granulated sugar and place them onto another parchment-lined baking sheet. Leave at least 2 inches of space between each cookie. Gently press the dough balls down with the palm of your hand (see photo for reference).
    3 tablespoon Granulated Sugar
  • Bake in a 350* oven for 17-20 minutes or until the edges are just starting to turn golden.
  • Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
