Vegan Peanut Butter Cookies

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the peanut butter, butter substitute, sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.
3. Add the vanilla extract and mix until incorporated.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
6. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7. Gently press each ball of dough down with the back of a fork to create a criss-cross pattern.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
9. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
