Got a bit of a sweet tooth late last night and decided to try making some peanut butter cookies. I used to work at a restaurant in Wilmington, NC that had a bakery in it and we made these really easy peanut butter cookies, only they used egg. So I changed up the recipe a little and used more healthy versions of the ingredients like raw sugar and organic un-salted peanut butter. You can use whatever peanut butter you have on hand, but I feel like the un-salted PB balances out all the sugar :)
Easy Vegan Peanut Butter Cookies
(Makes 1 dozen)
Ingredients:
1 Tbsp Ground Flax Seed
3 Tbsp Water
1 Cup Raw Sugar
1 Cup Organic No-salt added Peanut Butter
Directions:
*Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
*Stir flax and water together in a small bowl or cup and let sit about 5 minutes.
*Combine flax mixture and raw sugar together in a medium bowl.
*Mix in peanut butter.
*With hands, form into little balls about 2".
*Place on lightly greased cookie sheet and press down with a fork. Turn fork and press across first fork imprint.
*Bake for 12-15 minutes depending on oven.
*Remove from oven and allow to cool completely on cookie sheet.
*The cookies will be very soft when they first come out, once they cool they will harden, so do not be alarmed and think they are not done.

Perfect timing. I've been wanting something peanut buttery but not just a spoonful of peanut butter lately. These are in the oven now! Thanks!
