Equipment
- Baking sheets
- Parchment paper
- Various sized mixing bowls
- Stand mixer
Ingredients
Dry
- 1 cup oat flour ($0.14)
- ¾ tsp baking powder ($0.01)
- ¼ tsp baking soda ($0.01)
- ¼ tsp salt ($0.01)
Wet
- ¼ cup vegan butter ($0.58)
- ½ cup brown sugar ($0.16)
- ¾ cup natural smooth peanut butter ($1.32)
- ¼ cup maple syrup ($0.60)
- 1 tsp vanilla ($0.21)
- 2 tbsp corn starch + 2 tbsp warm water ($0.06)
For Rolling optional
- ¼ cup cane sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F with the rack in the center, then line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and warm water. Set aside.
- Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment on, cream the softened vegan butter and brown sugar together on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Next, mix in the peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla, and corn starch mixture.
- In another bowl, whisk the oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. Slowly add this to the wet ingredients and mix on low until incorporated.
- Place cane sugar in a shallow bowl or pie plate. Roll balls of dough (about 1 ½ tablespoons of dough per cookie), coat with sugar, and place 2 inches apart on the baking sheets. If you have a cookie scoop, it comes in handy for this part.
- With the tines of a fork, make a crisscross indent on each cookie, leaving the cookies fairly thick. Bake until the cookies are barely golden at the edges but still slightly underdone in the center, about 7-10 minutes depending on your oven.
- Remove cookies from the oven and let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for another 5 minutes, then gently transfer to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling.
