Making some vegan peanut butter-chocolate chip cookies because I can.

This is the recipe I’m using, I’ll give feed back and post actual photos later.

Ingredients

2 cups whole wheat pastry flour, spelt flour, or unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup natural peanut butter (either smooth or chunky)
2/3 cup pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons brown sugar, optional
1/3 cup oil (I used canola)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ cup dark chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat oven to 350ºF and place rack in the top third of oven.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Combine flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl.

In the bowl of a stand mixer or other bowl, combine peanut butter, maple syrup, brown sugar (if using), oil, and vanilla.  Mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

Pour the dry ingredients on top of the wet, and mix again just until the flour disappears.  Stir in the chocolate chips.  The dough should be crumbly but stiff.  Let dough rest for five minutes, then give another stir or two.

Scoop dough by packed, rounded tablespoon onto baking sheet about an inch apart (they don’t spread while they bake).  Using a fork, create a cross-hatch pattern on top of each scoop, while also pressing down to flatten the cookie.  The dough will want to crack around the edges; use your fingers to gently press any cracks back together.

Bake in batches on the top rack of the oven about 12-14 minutes, until golden brown.

Makes about 30 cookies.
