Bomb 6 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies (vegan + oil-free)

This is one of those accidentally infreakingcredible recipes. Only SIX ingredients, completely oil-free, and vegan (of course). Seriously super easy and quick to make, and you'll thank me when you take a bite.

I made a peanut butter and chocolate skillet cookie for my friend a few weeks ago, and then I was inspired to make a peanut butter cookie. The first trial following the skillet cookie was basically a standard cookie recipe. But for the second try, I decided to drop the butter and go for an oil-free version. And in the end, I had a pretty healthy and AMAZING peanut butter cookie.

So what are the six ingredients? Peanut butter, brown sugar, vanilla, mylk, maple syrup, and flour. I literally put this together in 5 minutes. Every delicious cookie should be that easy! Peanut butter acts as the oil/butter, plus contributes it's fabulous flavor. And I ended up finding no need for baking soda. So, so simple. :)

The cute, crinkled edges are a great touch to this cookie's simple look. But as shown above, these cookies go in the oven still round. After about 10 minutes, I decided to gently push the tops down with a spoon to give them a  more interesting look. Then I baked the cookies for a few more minutes, and they came out looking great!

As I mentioned before, these taste awesome. They're moist *sorry* and chewy on the inside. Both my mom and my dad said they are the best peanut butter cookies they have ever had. I can't say enough about them. They're not crumbly like my skillet cookie was, and the ingredients are awesome. They're practically perfect!!!

If you happen to try any of the cookies from this week, tag me on Instagram and use #vegancookiechallenge. If you have the ingredients for these guys (and I would assume you do), then be sure to make them ASAP! And come back tomorrow😛
