Tips & Substitutions When Making These Peanut Butter Cookies

Customize to your liking! Add in some chocolate chips, ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract or an additional egg (for a softer cookie).

Avoid using crunchy peanut butter, unless you want your cookies to be crumbly.

Take a peek at the cookies after about 8 minutes or so. You’ll know they are done when they are firm to the touch and slightly browning at the edges.

To make it vegan, substitute the egg for a flax egg, which is made by mixing together 1 tablespoon flaxseed with 2 tablespoons water and letting it rest for 5 minutes.
