Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Add the almond milk (or other plant-based milk) and vanilla extract to the mixture. Stir until well incorporated.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mix until a soft cookie dough forms.
Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Place it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
Using the tines of a fork, gently press down each dough ball twice in a criss-cross pattern to slightly flatten them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden and the cookies are set but still soft in the center.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your delicious vegetarian peanut butter cookies!
