How to Make Eggless Peanut Butter Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) shortening and 1 cup (227g) creamy peanut butter until smooth.
  3. Gradually add 1 cup (200g) granulated white sugar and 1/2 cup (100g) packed brown sugar, mixing until well combined.
  4. Stir in 1/2 cup (120ml) buttermilk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Use a fork dipped in flour to create a criss-cross pattern on top of each cookie.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Keep a close eye on them as ovens vary.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
