PREP: 6 min | BAKE: 9-12 min | SERVINGS: 12-14 large cookies
1 cup runny peanut butter (or tahini, almond butter, sunflower seed butter, or another favorite)
⅓ cup unsweetened oat milk (or other plant-based milk)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
⅓ cup brown sugar
⅓ cup white sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free oat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 cup chopped mix-ins (potato chips, vegan pretzels, dried cranberries, vegan chocolate chips, vegan graham crackers, etc.)
Preheat the oven to 400°F, and line two baking sheets with reusable baking mats or parchment paper.
In a medium-size bowl:
Combine the nut butter, milk, vanilla, and sugar and stir until smooth.
Add the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Mix until a very thick cookie dough is formed.
If needed, and an additional 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk to make a moldable batter.
Fold in your mix-ins of choice.
Scoop 3 tablespoons balls of dough, placed at least 2 inches apart, onto the prepared baking sheets, around six cookies per pan. Using your hands or a fork, squish down each cookie into a ½-inch-thick disk.
Bake for 9 to 12 minutes, or until cooked through. They will be slightly soft coming out of the oven.
Allow to set for at least 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
NOTES:
Store in an airtight container on the counter for up to 5 days.
