To begin with Eggless Peanut Butter Cookies, sift together flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder in a mixing bowl. Keep this flour mixture aside.
In a wide bowl, cream peanut butter for 3-4 minutes at minimum speed using a hand mixer. Add in the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoon milk and cream the mixture again for 3 minutes.
At this stage, add flour mixture to the bowl and gradually mix at a very low speed until they are all well blended. Use hands and gently form a dough.
If the dough is too thick, add a tablespoon of milk and refrigerate the dough for 20 minutes.
Divide the dough into medium lemon sized balls and place them on a baking sheet
Using a fork, you can make a criss-cross pattern to achieve the classic look of peanut butter cookies.
Make sure to leave enough space between them. Since the cookies tend to expand when they start baking in the oven.
Preheat oven to 180 C and bake until the edges turn into slightly golden brown colour. It takes approximately 13-14 minutes.
Once the cookies are cooled down, they become crunchy. You can store these baked goodies in an air tight container and they stay good for up to 5 days.
