Calories 147kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup plus 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted peanut butter
- ¼ cup neutral oil
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- ¼ cup oat milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F/175C. Line baking sheets with parchment.
- Whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine oil and peanut butter. Beat until well blended with a hand mixer or a whisk.
- Add sugars and beat until smooth. Add oat milk and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth.
- Add the flour mixture to wet ingredients, mix until dry ingredients are just incorporated.
- Scoop slightly heaping 1 tablespoon (18ml) portions of dough. Roll into balls and place on lined baking sheets with 2-3 (/5-8cm) between them.
- Press on each cookie with a fork in a criss-cross pattern for the classic design. Flatten the cookies to about ½” (12mm) thick. For chewier cookies flatten less.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until firm on the edges. Allow to cool on the baking tray.
- Store at room temperature for 5 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
Notes
- For chewier cookies, do not press the criss-cross pattern as deeply.
- Add a bit of extra texture easily by using crunchy peanut butter in place of smooth.
- The cookies will spread a bit, so leave 2-3 inches between each cookie so that they have room to bake.
- Dip the fork in sugar to add a sugary finish on top of the cookies or sprinkle with flaky salt for a sweet and salty finish.
