How to Make Amazing Peanut Butter Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup vegan margarine, ½ cup vegan shortening, 1 cup creamy peanut butter, ½ cup soy yogurt, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ cup vegan chocolate chips (optional).
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Refrigerate the dough for at least 15-20 minutes to firm up. This prevents the cookies from spreading too much.
  6. Roll rounded tablespoons of dough into balls and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  7. Flatten each ball slightly with a fork, making a criss-cross pattern.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Baking time may vary depending on your oven.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
