CATEGORIES
INGREDIENTS
  • Cooking Time: 8-10 minutes
  • Servings: 16
  • Preparation Time: 5 minutes
  • 1 cup peanut butter-homogenous mixture
  • 1 cup brown sugar-homogeneous mixture
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract-homogeneous mixture
  • ⅔ cup oat flour (use 1 cup if you prefer chewy cookies rather than tender cookies)-homogenous mixture
  • 1 tsp baking soda- pure substance (NaHCO3)
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt-pure substance-(NaC1)
  • ¼ cup water (readers have also had success using ¼ cup almond milk)-pure substance-(H2O)
DIRECTIONS
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the peanut butter and brown sugar for 1 minute. Add in the vanilla extract and beat for another 30 seconds.
  3. In a separate mixing bowl, mix the dry ingredients together (oat flour, baking soda, and salt).
  4. While beating the peanut butter mixture, slowly add in the oat flour mixture and beat until a crumbly dough forms. Add in the water and continue to beat until distributed. Do not over mix.
  5. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  6. Roll the dough into balls (about 1½ - 2 tablespoons per cookie), drop on parchment paper, and flatten with a fork one way and then the other to create a crisscross pattern.
  7. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until just starting to turn golden on edges (they bake FAST so watch them carefully).
  8. Let cool completely.
RECIPE BACKSTORY
My mom found this recipe a couple months after she became a vegan. She wanted to stay healthy and keep with her vegan diet but she also still wanted to have a sweet dessert every once in a while. CHEMICAL INFORMATION: One example of a chemical change is when you mix the baking soda with the wet ingredients. Another example of a chemical change is when you put the cookies in the oven and they brown on the top and bottom. One example of a physical change is when you mix all the ingredients together in a bowl. Another physical change is when you shape the cookie dough into spheres. Submitted by: "Kelly D"
