COWGIRL COOKIES

    Makes 2 dozen cookies

      Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Pour the jar contents into a large bowl and stir to combine.

      In a smaller bowl, stir together:

            ¾ cup non-dairy margarine, melted

            ½ cup creamy, natural peanut butter

            1 teaspoon vanilla extract

      Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the peanut butter mixture, and mix to combine. You might need to use a strong spatula or just use your hands.

      Scoop out cookie dough into large tablespoon balls onto the prepared cookie sheet. Flatten slightly and arrange 1 inch apart. Bake for about 10 minutes, until lightly browned and the edges are set. Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet for 15 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
