[Guest guest]

Hi Thia,

 

The recipe in question is Peanut " Better " Cookies on page 134 of

Dreena Burton's book " Vive le Vegan " ! Great book! Dreena also has a

website with links to her blogs where she occassionally posts recipes

and gives you previews of recipes she is developing for her new

cookbook, http://www.everydayvegan.com/.

 

Peanut " Better " Cookies

 

1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour (can substitute Whole Wheat Pastry

Flour or Spelt Flour)

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

2 tbsp unrefined sugar

1/4 tsp sea salt

1/3 cup + 1-2 tbsp natural organic peanut butter

1/2 cup pure maple syrup

1/4 tsp blackstrap molasses

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

3 tbsp canola oil

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, sift in the flour, baking

powder and baking soda. Add the sugar and salt and stir until well

combined. In a separate bowl, combine 1/3 cup of the peanut butter

with the maple syrup, molasses, and vanilla, then stir in the oil

until well combined. Add the wet mixture to the dry, stir through,

and as it is coming together, stir in the remaining 1-2 tbsp of

peanut butter (not completely; leave bits of peanut butter throughout

the batter). Place large spoonfuls of the batter on a baking sheet

lined with parchment paper, and press with the tines of a fork to

flatten gently and give that classic peanut butter cookie look. Bake

for 11 minutes, until just golden (if you bake for much longer, they

will dry out). Let cool for no more than 1 minute on the sheet

(again, to prevent drying), then remove them with a large spatula and

transfer to a cooling rack. Makes 8-10 medium-large cookies.
