I wanted to make vegan peanut butter cookies for ages, because they hold a special place in my memory. I used to make them for my husband before we were married, and I’d have to send them in the mail because I was living in America and he was in Finland. I had to make sure he was alright with our crazy American peanut butter cookies, you know? Luckily, he loved the cookies and the rest is history!
These vegan peanut butter cookies are made the same way, but of course without butter or eggs. Instead, I use my own homemade vegan butter recipe and the egg is replaced with water and corn starch. If you have store bought vegan butter, it should also work just fine.
