Peanut Butter Cookies
These peanut butter cookies are mt absolute favourite cookie. They have the chewy middles we all love with the crumbly edges, and that rich nutty flavour. P.S. Like all our other recipes they are plant-based!

Notes
Look for creamy peanut butter with a smooth consistency (sorta like the Kraft one we used to eat as kids). Even if your nut butter is runny, this recipe makes a stiff cookie dough and you don’t want that. If your peanut butter is too dry and stiff, the dough may crack, and it will be difficult to form cohesive cookies.
Tip: If you store your peanut butter in the fridge, allow it to sit at room temperature for an hour before making this recipe.
