Peanut Butter Cooksees

Can you make a good peanut butter cookie without breaking an egg?

hash marks and everything

Yup. I personally ate half a dozen to be sure.

The Best Peanut Butter Cookies
(real recipe can be found here)

1 1/4 c. firmly packed brown sugar
3/4 c. peanut butter (we used regular old PB, not ‘natural’)
1/2 c. Earth Balance (butter is probably fine)
2 T. of vanilla (yes, that’s TABLESPOONS – but it works)

Put all that in a bowl and mix it up well. Add

1 heaping T. unsweetened applesauce

and mix again. In goes

1 3/4 c. all-purpose flour
3/4 t. baking soda
3/4 t. salt

Stir until it’s all incorporated. Drop in big spoonfuls (I used my 2 T. scoop) onto a cookie sheet (I use parchment paper on mine) and do the traditional criss-cross thing with a fork.

Bake at 375F about 10 minutes until the edges are turning golden brown. Watch that you don’t over bake – they’ll still be tasty, but will require milk for dunking.

I would have gotten 32 cookies with my medium scoop, but we sampled a lot of dough.

    Yours look so much better than the “real” recipe posting. I’m going to try these with my 2yo. It’s ideal since there’s no egg in it!

    Bookmarking. :o) You had me at “no eggs”. Looks delish! Will have to give it a try one day and link back to this post for props.
