Peanut Butter Cookies (Vegan)

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 F.

2. 2

   In a medium mixing bowl combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. In a separate larger bowl combine the peanut butter, maple syrup, olive oil, and vanilla.

3. 3

   Pour the flour mixture over the peanut butter mixture and stir until barely combined. Let the mixture sit for five minutes then give it one more quick stir (just a stroke or two).

4. 4

   Now drop the dough by heaping tablespoonfuls onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them a couple inches apart. Press down on each one gently with the back of a fork. (Note: this is a loose batter, so if you're set on doing criss-crosses on the top of each cookie you should chill the batter for an hour or so before this step.)

5. 5

   Bake for 10-11 minutes, but keep and eye on them and don't over bake or they will be dry. Remove pans from oven and set them on a rack. Let cookies cool on the pan for five minutes and transfer to a cooling rack.
