Vegan Peanut Butter Cookies

Preheat oven to 180 C (350F). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

In a medium size mixing bowl add peanut butter with maple syrup.

Combine with a spatula until it forms a creamy paste.

Fold in the flour of your choice and stir until it forms a cookie dough ball.

Divide the cookie dough into 12 pieces.

Roll each piece into a ball between your hands.

Place each ball on the prepared cookie sheet and using a fork flatten the cookies. Flatten each cookie twice, forming a cross shape on the top.

Repeat until all cookies are shaped and leave a thumb space between each cookie. They won't expand while baking but you don't want the cookies to touch each other.

Bake for 12-18 minutes or until the sides are golden brown. It took 16 minutes for 8 large cookies and 12 minutes for 12 smaller cookies.

Cool down for 10 minutes on the cookie tray then transfer to a cooling rack. Be patient; they will get crunchier with time, and after 3 hours they will have the most beautiful crunchy texture.
