VEGAN PEANUT BUTTER BLOSSOMS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• 2. Beat nondairy shortening and peanut butter in a large bowl, and add ⅓ cup sugar and beat until creamy.
• 3. Add nondairy milk and vanilla, beating well.
• 4. In a separate bowl sift together flour, baking soda and salt and then beat the dry mixture slowly into the peanut butter mixture. Add an additional 2 tablespoons of flour if dough is too sticky.
• 5. Shape dough into 1 to 2" balls, then roll in raw sugar or crystallized honey. Place the cookies a few inches apart on parchment-lined or nonstick cookie sheet.
• 6. Bake 7-10 minutes or until very lightly browned.
• 7. Immediately press a chocolate button or vegan candy into the center of each cookie. Let the cookies cool for a couple of minutes on a wire rack, then remove the cookies from the cookie sheet and enjoy.
