Eggless Butterless Peanut Butter Cookies

There was a phase when these cookies were found in abundance in the blogosphere! Back then I never really felt that I need to make this.But now with a huge jar of peanut butter that sat on the shelf was literally begging me to use it up, I was thinking of ways to finish it up in something other than in peanut butter sandwich.

Lil Angel who usually sits with me when I am browsing the various blogs, came up with the idea to make these cookies. I thought it was a great idea and made these delicious bites.

I used:
Makes around 30 cookies

Whole wheat flour- 1 cup
Powdered sugar- 1/2 cup
Oil-1/4 cup
Milk-1/3 cup
Peanut butter- 1/2 cup
Baking soda-1 teaspoon

Take the flour, sugar, baking soda in a bowl and whisk well to combine.

Add oil , peanut butter and milk and mix to form a dough. If it is too
sticky add a little flour. If the dough is too dry and crumbly add a
little milk.

Pinch out equal sized balls and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper .Place them a little far apart as they spread a little.Flatten them out making crisscross patterns with a fork.

Bake in a pre heated oven at 180 degree C for 10 minutes / till the bottom of the cookie is brown. The cookies will be soft when they come out of the oven. Cool on a wire rack.

Note:

You can use APF / Maida instead of whole wheat flour.
Place the cookies a little far apart as they spread a bit.
Since the cookies are soft as soon as they are baked but turn crisp once cool, don’t be tempted to over bake the cookies.
The number of cookies and the time taken to bake it will depend on the size and thickness of the cookies.

I have joined a group of friends in a baking event called
Bake-a-thon.We will be posting baked goodies on Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays all through December.Do take a look at what we all have baked so far!!
