Transform a frustrating day into moments of calm with these 37-minute peanut butter cookies. Mindful baking creates space for equilibrium when life's annoyances pile up...and these vegan cookies are delicious.
I tried the 37-minute peanut butter cookie recipe today. I've often noticed with your recipes that it's the attention to technique, the small details, that sets them apart. (Your explanation of risotto really upped my game.) And even though I goofed in a couple of areas, these are GOOD!
It's been one of those MS days, nothing dreadful, just depressed and feeling the fatigue; my go to strategy on days like today is baking. And as I have strong childhood memories of peanut butter cookies, but have never been able to replicate them without eggs, I decided to give your recipe a try. The attention to whisking properly - until the sugar melts in the oil - is, I think, a key to getting the right texture. But I added too much water, the mix was too wet, so I added extra flour to get the consistency back on track. And I over baked them, set the timer for 14 minutes but should have checked at 10. Next time, I'll pay closer attention. I used arrowroot starch instead of corn starch, which didn't seem to make a huge difference. And I used a mixture of AP flour with spelt flour, just because I love spelt flour.
Perfect with a cup of tea. From my Canadian kitchen, thank you for brightening my afternoon!
Sylvie, I’m so happy these cookies brought you moments of joy and some fond memories. ‘Food can be an important part of healing’ is something we are all familiar with from a physical perspective, but I think, the mental therapy brings a lot of joy and healing to a wounded spirit…and that can be just as important in the healing process.
Thanks for reading and sharing your perspective. Best wishes going forward…
Jack you are a mind reader! I was thinking I need to buy some peanut butter to make cookies. I shall do just that, and try your recipe. Great timing for this post (for my selfish reasons 😉)!
And just like that, I realize the answer to most everything is to make peanut butter cookies! Thank you for the recipe, Jack! Delicious, of course :-)
Thanks for reading, Kellie…
It all seemed so complicated until the realization that peanut butter cookies can be made in 37 minutes (includes clean-up time)…

Fantastic!!!
Enjoy the act of making and eating your peanut butter cookies - it’s exactly what’s necessary!
I wish I could eat peanuts, I used to love these!
Try exactly the same recipe with almond or cashew butter - it should work perfectly…
