Easy vegan Eggless Peanut Butter Cookies recipe. Make this when you have no eggs in your house. Ready in under 15 minutes.
I was all ready to bake: I got all my bowls, sugar and flour out, when I looked in the fridge and, what do you know, I’m out of eggs, and all I have is sour milk. But fear not, there is always some way around not having anything in your house when baking (I’ve used beans instead of flour to make a cake, etc. That cake was great actually, I may recreate it sometime).
Lack of eggs will not stop me. Instead of making my regular Peanut Butter Cookies, I created these Eggless Peanut Butter Cookies. Now I think that these cookies will be on a regular rotation at my house!!
What you need to make these Eggless Peanut Butter Cookies
- milk
- white vinegar
- all-purpose flour
- baking powder
- salt
- shortening
- creamy peanut butter
- white and brown sugar
These cookies are completely eggless. I also like to make really big cookies. This way I can say “I only had two cookies” so people won’t think I’m pigging out or anything. But I still might have more, these are actually pretty good considering the lack of ingredients in my house.
