Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the peanut butter, vegan butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the vanilla extract and plant-based milk to the wet mixture, then mix until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. If it's too crumbly, add an extra tablespoon of plant-based milk.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place each ball on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between them.
Using a fork, gently press the top of each cookie ball to create a crisscross pattern.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Do not overbake; the cookies will set as they cool.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your irresistible vegan peanut butter cookies! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
