Crisp peanut butter cookies with a touch of coarse salt – flourless and easy to make Vegan version: Flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water per egg).
Preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
2
Mix the sugar, brown sugar, baking soda and salt.
3
Add the flax egg, peanut butter and extract and mix into a soft dough.
4
Roll tablespoons of dough into balls the size of tbsp and place on the baking sheet, spaced apart.
Baking pan
💡Roll with damp hands: the soft dough won't stick, and the balls come out smooth.
5
Press each ball twice with a fork, lengthwise and crosswise, to make a crisscross pattern.

💡Cookies that look too soft coming out of the oven firm up as they cool. Take them out when just the edges are golden.
💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
