Vegan Peanut Butter Cookies

These were so easy to make it was a joke. Go ahead - try them out yourself. Cookies turn out round (they do not flatten out) and they crumble as you bite into them so I advise that you simply pop them straight into your mouth, do not nibble.

This recipe yields about 3 dozen cookies. They taste (and look) sort of like giant peanut butter cereal.

1.5 C Wheat Flour

1 C Peanut Butter

1 tsp Vanilla

3/4 C Sugar

1/4 C Canola Oil

Combine all ingredients, mix until combined - it will be a crumbly wet dough (see photo). Shape into 2" round spheres. Bake at 400 degrees 10-11 minutes, place on cooling rack. (Do not try to eat one straight out of the oven - you will burn your mouth - don't ask why I know this).

Last night, we dined at a friends's home in RI, empanadas and an awesome bean soup, topped w. crunchy lettuce, cheese and sour cream. Everything tased great and it felt nice to have someone else's cooking. There is so much that goes into food preparation, I feel that you actually transmit your energy into whatever it is that you make - food, art - whatever. So, needless to say I felt the friendship and goodwill was actually baked up inside of those empanadas....
