Eggless peanut butter cookies recipe - These no egg peanut butter cookies are buttery, crunchy and chewy with sweet and salty taste.
The texture of the cookies is crispy and chewy. After having a bite, you will not believe that these yummy babies are eggless. And obviously it has sweet and salty taste from peanut butter.
There are two types of peanut butter available in the market– (1) it says ‘old-fashioned’ or ‘natural’ on the jar. This kind has like separate texture, every time you use, you have to stir first. Not good for cookies. (2) It says ‘zero trans fat’ or ‘hydrogenated oil’ on the jar. Buy this kind for making cookies.
Finally I am sharing peanut butter cookies recipe made without eggs with you. I have made it about 2 months back and it was in my draft. I just forgot to post it. Yesterday I made eggless chocolate chip cookies and it reminds me that I haven’t posted my peanut butter cookies recipe yet. So here it is.
There are two cookies are very popular in America. Chocolate chip cookies and peanut butter cookies are two most favorite american cookies.
Peanut butter cookies can be easily recognized by criss-cross design on them. If you like then you can add chopped peanuts or chocolate chips in the cookies. It adds nice crunch to it.
Enjoy your peanut butter cookies with a glass of milk or as such. I like to dunk cookies in the milk before having a bite, just fantastic.

How to make eggless peanut butter cookies:
1) Preheat the oven to 375 degree F or 190 degree C for at least 10 minutes.
2) Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
3) Take all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Mix it well so everything get incorporated. Keep it aside until needed.
4) Take soften butter in a large enough bowl.
5) Whisk it till it gets smooth and creamy. (Use wire whisk or hand mixer or stand mixer w/ paddle attachment.)
6) Add white sugar and light brown sugar.
7) Again beat it till gets smooth, creamy and fluffy.
8) Now add peanut butter.
9) Again beat it till it gets mixed.
10) Add milk.
11) Beat it again.
12) Add flour mixture.
13) Beat it just until incorporated. Do not over mix it.
14) If using, add peanuts or chocolate chips then fold them with spatula. I skipped those.
15) If batter is too soft to form a ball then pop it into the fridge for 20-25 minutes. I kept in freezer for 15 minutes because I was in little rush. Why need to chill the batter? If batter is too soft then cookies will spread too much as they bake and the shape won’t be good round. So chilled batter cookie will hold their shape better.
16) Now make tablespoon size balls from the batter and arrange them on prepared cookie sheet. Place them about 1 ½ -2 inches apart from each other. because they will spread a little as they bake.
17) Now using the fork make crisscross pattern.
18) Do same for all the cookies.
19) Bake them in preheated oven for 13-15 minutes or until the cookies are lightly browned around the edges. Let it cool in the cookie sheet for 5 minutes. Baking time may vary. It depends on the size of the cookies; yours might me slightly smaller or bigger than mine. So please always check your cookies 2 minutes before the mentioned time and bake accordingly.
20) After 5 minutes remove cookies to the cooling rack and let them cool completely.
You can enjoy warm cookies or completely cooled cookies. It’s your preference.
Storing the cookies: Let the cookies cool completely, then store in airtight container up to 2 weeks. You can freeze the cookie dough and bake them fresh as needed. To freeze, simply make the cookie balls, arrange them on the sheet, keep the freezer till all the balls are frozen. Then you can put them in zip-lock bag or the airtight container. Keep them in the freezer. Whenever you want to bake the cookies, just place the balls few inches apart in the cookie sheet. Bake as directed (few minutes longer than mentioned time as these are frozen)
Serving suggestion: Enjoy these eggless peanut butter cookies with a glass of milk. or you can have it as such whenever you feel like.

can we use wheat flour (atta) in this recipe. what changes should be done to bake with atta.
Thank you
yes you can use wheat flour. You might need 1-2 teaspoons of extra milk.
These cookies are so easy and delicious and very easy to make vegan when needed. Its great to have a cookie recipe without eggs. Have been baking these roughly 3x a week since lockdown and they haven't failed me yet, also the dough freezes really well and cooks very well from frozen to.
Thank you for the detailed feedback
Glad that cookies came out good
These came out perfect. I took them out at ten minutes, but i think my oven runs a bit hot. Thank you for the egg-less recipe. I ran out of eggs, but I'm only trying to go to the store once per week now. We were still able to make this treat for her dad.
