One of the best things about these vegan peanut butter cookies is their versatility. If you have a peanut allergy, fear not!

This makes these cookies accessible to a wider range of dietary preferences and ensures that everyone can partake in the deliciousness.
Ingredients and Baking
These cookies are so easy to make and come together in minutes!
All you need is:
1 bag of Chelsea Approved Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix
1/3 cup cooking oil (vegetable, canola, avocado, etc)
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup peanut butter (or any nut or seed butter)
pinch of salt (optional)
Just combine all the ingredients in a bowl, form the dough balls, sprinkle on the salt, and bake!
Classic peanut butter cookies have the criss-cross shape made with the fork. If you like a more chewy and soft cookie, you can leave the dough in the shape of balls and they will come out as tall “high ball” cookies that are also delicious!
A Classic Peanut Butter Cookie Look
With their distinct fork-pressed tops, these cookies boast the timeless appearance of classic peanut butter treats. The fork creates a charming crisscross pattern that not only adds visual appeal but also enhances the cookie's texture. As you bite into the cookies, the slightly crisp edges give way to a soft and chewy center, providing a heavenly cookie experience that is impossible to resist.

Notes and Baking Tips:
1. Neutral Cooking Oil: You can use any high heat oil, but we recommend Canola Oil, Vegetable Oil, or Avocado oil. If you are going to use Coconut Oil, melt it in the microwave and then let it cool for a couple of minutes.
2. Peanut Butter or nut/seed butter: This recipe is great with any smooth nut or seed butter. You can use peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, sunflower butter, or any other nut/seed butter that you enjoy!
3. Pressing the cookie tops: For the classic peanut butter cookie look, use a fork to press down on the top. Press down once, then turn the fork 90 degrees, and press down again. This will form a criss-cross pattern that is so cute! It will also make the cookie a little flatter to get that crispy outside.
If you want a softer, more chewy cookie, you can form the dough into balls and leave them that way to bake without pressing down with the fork.
4. Bake Time: Darker pans and hotter ovens bake faster. Check your cookies early to make sure they don’t burn.
