Wowbutter Cookies
Nut-free "peanut butter"-esque cookies made with Wowbutter.
Servings: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 16 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup Wowbutter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Use an electric mixer to beat the butter and sugars together in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 3-6 minutes. This will help create a uniformity to your cookies once they bake.
- Add the Wowbutter and mix until fully incorporated, about 30 seconds. Add in vanilla and eggs one at a time, beating until combined.
- Sprinkle the salt, baking powder and baking soda over the wet ingredients and beat until just combined. Add the flour and beat on low until just combined. Finish mixing by hand until no floury streaks remain.
- Use a 3 tablespoon scoop to create balls of dough and place on parchment-lined baking sheets about 3 inches apart. Use a fork to create a criss-cross on each cookie. Bake for about 12-14 minutes until edges are golden and centers look scent. Let cool for 10 minutes on baking sheet before transferring to a rack to cool completely.
