Nut Butter Cookies

Ingredients

 * ½ cup light, natural oil (sunflower is best)
 * ¾ cup natural nut butter of your choice
 * ¾ cup unrefined, brown sugar
 * equivalent of 1 egg in egg replacer
 * 1 tsp alum-free baking powder
 * 1 tsp vanilla extract
 * 2½ cups whole wheat or unbleached white flour
 * ¼ tsp sea salt

Directions

 * 1) In a large mixing bowl, cream together the light oil, peanut butter and sugar until smooth.
 * 2) Add the egg replacer and vanilla extract, and beat well.
 * 3) Sift together the baking powder, flour and salt.
 * 4) Add it in 3 parts to the peanut butter mixture, stirring with wooden spoon after each addition until well-mixed and all the flour is added.
 * 5) Roll the dough in the palms of your hands to create slightly-smaller-than-golf-ball-sized balls.
 * 6) (if dough is too sticky, add more flour to the bowl and mix well until it is the correct consistency).
 * 7) Place these on an ungreased baking sheet about 3" apart from one another.
 * 8) Press the cookies down with a fork, making a cris-cross pattern on the top, only enough to spread them an inch or so out.
 * 9) You want them to remain thick so that you'll have a moist inside to them.
 * 10) Bake in a 375°F oven for 8–10 minutes.
