Peanut Butter Cookies (Gluten Free, Dairy Free & Vegan)

Ingredients

  • 275g Peanut Butter Ms Cupcake recommends using a creamy peanut butter but I used the Meridian Peanut Butter Crunchy 100% Nuts and it worked great
  • 125g Dairy Free Margarine I used Soya Spread
  • 140g Maple Syrup
  • 85g Caster Sugar
  • 70g Brown Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon of Vanilla Extract
  • 240g Doves Gluten Free Plain Flour

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 160 degrees celsius.
  • Thoroughly grease two large baking trays.
  • Measure out all your ingredients and cream everything together except the flour.
  • Once the mixture is well creamed, gradually introduce the flour, mixing it until combined. Your mixture should now be a bit more dough like. My dough was fairly soft and slightly oily due to the natural oils in peanut butter. This was perfect for the next stage!
  • Using a spoon… or your hands like I did! Form around 18 balls and place spaced out on your pre prepared baking trays.
  • Using a fork make a criss-cross design on each of the dough balls, pressing the down as you do this.
  • Place the baking sheets of delicious dough in the oven for around 15 minutes; a couple of minutes longer would do them no harm either.
  • Once you have removed them from the oven, leave for a couple of minutes to cool slightly before very gently easing the cookies off the sheet and onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • Indulge, enjoy and then bake some more!

Notes

These taste amazing lightly warmed with some dairy free / vegan ice cream too :)
